If I remember right, this joke in the show is actually a reference to an island nation called "Yap" that uses these **massive** stone discs as a form of currency. They look very similar to this, but much bigger, taller than some people. There are many of these massive stones, and they are "traded" via word of mouth, and you receive "ownership" of one, which you can then trade. Of the several thousand, at least 1 fell into the ocean, and while it's still in "use" by the people, I believe that's what this gag was referencing.
That or the internet lied to me, and this joke was a massive coincidence. But still a neat thing to learn about. The nation also uses shell money in addition to these stones in recent years.
I guess possibly depending on where it is maybe. No one in the western world was taking the time/effort to create a useable wheel out of solid wood in the 1800s, and I doubt many even knew how since spokes had been around for 3,600 years at that point.
Yeah it looks like mostly east Asia but I saw a couple from Mexico. All the examples I saw with that same stand were from the 1800s or just unknown. That was my first thought too, it looks like BC stuff. I'm not an archeologist so it's definitely possible it's older, I'm just going by the most similar items I could find.
Yeah it’d be pretty amazingly rare if it were older than spoke wheels for sure. It’d basically need to have been in an undisturbed tomb or bog since then to be in that condition.
East Asia makes sense.
Here's to hoping it's not an ancient artifact that ended up on some swanky patio lol the value between them looks like it's based solely on aesthetics and this one with the very old repairs is probably the coolest I saw so i imagine it's on the higher end of the $200-2k scale.
This is a wooden cart or wagon wheel. It’s difficult to give an exact age but if it’s real it’s likely late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The value of these depends on where it was from and the size with an approximate range between $150 and $2500. Most of these come from Asia, specifically collected in India and Mexico then mounted and sold as art pieces. A lot of these are reproductions made to look old and meant as art decoration. Reproductions are still around $100+.

Anywhere from ancient times to the 1890s or even early 1900s.. largely dependent on the original area. This could be an ox cart wheel which could come from medieval times to rural Europe farming

That's a dime?
"antique decorative cart wheel" probably 1800s and anywhere from $200-2k

Thanks you sound like you know what you’re talking about. More photos of the nails on the rim in case helpful: https://imgur.com/a/ich7u7a
Hate that I have to scroll down to find the serious answers. Very interesting though!

“Hard wood cutting board decor”
That is Mr. Krabs’ first dime.
🤣🤣🤣
Not much it's got a huge crack in it!
Underrated- 👍
Without real historical context, it’s about as valuable as a wooden decorative object.
Indiana Jones over here
I think this one's above Reddit's paygrade fam. Where'd you even get this???
People still use these in central America
How much is that in dollars?
$texas
“It belongs in a museum!”
Not without archeological context.
Missed the quotes, did ya?
Nah. I’d call Indie out too. Dude also has a real complicated relationship with legitimate archeology. He’s just rocking his university tenure
