What is this thing?

Is there a name for this sort of object? I need something like this, but don't know what to type into the webs ( lemmy.world )

I'm going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I'm currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they're not great and need replaced (I'm a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better....

Glossy orange orbs- Brisbane, Australia

https://i.imgur.com/11zentP.jpegThese have been accumulating around the cracks of my house for a few weeks. Google searches of Orange orbs, orange eggs, glossy orange eggs etc haven't been helpful. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? I'm assuming some sort of insect egg/cocoon?

Found this when we were cleaning out a family member's basement. I don't know anything about who owned it other than that it was a family member from a few generations back. ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )

There's a patent number on the smaller of the blades near the hinge (2037943) that led me to a US patent from 1936 but it didn't tell me a lot about this particular knife. Any information on time period, brand, model, cleaning/restoring, etc is helpful. Thanks!...
