Can you guess the purpose of these objects?

Sometimes I come across objects where I can’t quite figure out their original purpose. But that mystery is what makes them fascinating to me as objects. The craftsmanship, the materials used, or the way everything is put together often feels meticulously thought out. Even if these items are “useless” in a practical sense, they still find a place in my collection.

One particular group of objects I find especially intriguing are those wrapped in plastic. I have no idea why they were packaged this way, but they carry a unique, almost absurd aesthetic. The plastic, or the vacuum-sealed film, acts like a protective layer, preserving the object and giving it a pristine, almost clinical appearance. The packaging instantly transforms the item into a small exhibit piece, ready to be hung or displayed.

These objects hold a unique fascination for me: their packaging not only provides protection but also seems to bestow upon them a certain significance and value, as if they were collectibles or artifacts from another time.
