15 Strange Objects From The Past That Look Practically Unrecognizable Today

11. Spoons: This spoon was used to feed bears. Of course, this begs the question, “Why would anyone in their right mind try to feed a bear?” Perhaps somebody was raising bears to do their own bidding? That would be pretty cool.

12. Medical supplies: Leeches were stored in jars like this during the days when they were more commonly used for medical purposes. When you take that into consideration, it’s not quite as weird. You need to keep the leeches somewhere, right?

13. Cutlery: This knife is made out of shark teeth. It must’ve been helpful when metal was inaccessible! That, and all those times in life when you need to defend yourself against wild, vicious beasts… you know, like sharks.

14. Backpacks: This deadly knapsack flamethrower was used by the U.S.S.R. during World War II. Most of the time, when people think of knapsacks, they think of the kinds that you take to school. Deadly weapons are a different story!

15. Religious artifacts: This is a portable altar for voodoo practitioners to worship with. After all, why shouldn’t you be able to continue practicing your voodoo rituals when you’re on the go? You never know when you’re going to need them!
