An odd wall-hanging
“found in the home we recently purchased. has a hole in the center, made of metal, and fastened into the wall. In the restroom, next to the shower.
Fortunately, Reddit user Happy_Cranker had the solution: “This appears to be a toothbrush or soap dish holder, but the central portion that held the ring is gone. In light of its location in the bathroom, does that make any sense? Possibly a place to store a hand towel as well. These were common in homes in the 1960s and 1970s, as I recall.
“You can talk to someone without opening the door; it’s called a speakeasy.’” The question “What is the purpose of this little door in the door?” was answered by Reddit user 3rdCoastTxn.
When we moved in, my girlfriend took it with us. How do you describe this? It is perhaps the most bizarre thing we have ever seen.
“It works your abs.”
