Immediately thought of this. 💯

u/Bempet583 2h ago

That's a Shuffle board weight, and damned if that picture doesn't look like it's sitting on a shuffleboard table.

6

u/johneebravado 1h ago

This seems right, and if you look on the bottom it's worn from sliding

u/Nematodes-Attack 1h ago

It’s not though lol It’s my end table. But I think I actually just solved this myself and you’re all wrong g

u/almosthappy925 1h ago

Then what is it????

Nevermind

u/Yabbos77 1h ago

This is definitely a shuffle board puck. You can tell not only because of the shape and weight, but because of the scuffing on the bottom from the sand scratching it.

u/koffa02 2h ago

There's no banana, so I have no idea how big it is.

u/Nematodes-Attack 2h ago

I gave a yellow beer can for scale damnit!

u/Lopsided_Activity980 2h ago

The real question is how's the beer?

12

u/Eastern-Status-292 1h ago

Can you please put a banana next to the beer can.

u/DoktorKazz 1h ago

Yeah, but it's an IPA.

u/greentiger79 1h ago

Old shuffle bowling game. Puck is in the picture. My parents had one of these for years.

u/Dixie1117 1h ago

This is it! My hometown bar had one
In the 1980’s

u/Gullible-Constant924 2h ago

He probably stole it from the bar it looks like these things for that table game with the long board you pour salt on the table and slide these down it, it’s like shuffle board cant remember what it’s called.

My very first thought. My mom was a barfly. Come from a whole line of em. Lot lizards, too. On my dad's. But that's a different story.

u/blueSnowfkake 1h ago

That’s the one I remember! I can hear it in my head.

u/Ok_Assumption1542 2h ago

Table version of shuffleboard. Drop some sawdust like powder on the polished surface and slide it with your hand, like air hockey but shuffleboard.

9

u/Nematodes-Attack 1h ago

I just solved this myself. It is not for shuffleboard. It literally is a super heavy coaster for Navy ships so your drinks don’t spill when the boat rocks

10

u/hooterscooter 1h ago

I don’t understand how this stops drinks from spilling. They sit on top of the heavy coaster. What am I missing here?

7

u/opesosorry 1h ago

Yeah I don’t think this is it. The ridges are different around the edge. It’s an exact match to an old shuffleboard puck in the picture another commenter posted

4

u/El_Mnopo 1h ago

It doesn’t even look remotely the same and your “coaster” is smaller in diameter than your drink can lol

u/Nematodes-Attack 1h ago

Solved!

u/Icy-Wealth4192 1h ago

The ridges on that coaster are different. Yours, the entire metal area is raised, this one the metal area is tapered with just a thin raised metal wall could still be a coaster but not that one.

Try putting the beer on it, it looks like it would fit the bottom of a beer can snuggly. Maybe it’s like a beer can specific coaster

Was he a bowler or fan of arcades? I'm pretty sure that's a puck used in bowling games.

Puck for shuffle board table

u/Ken-Popcorn 1h ago

My local pizza joint had a bowling machine that dated from the 50’s, it used these. That machine was legendary and only gave up the ghost about a year ago

u/dadburned 1h ago

They probably played a fair amount of shuffleboard in the Navy.

Hockey (or bowling) puck for an older bar game .

u/BrianKappel 1h ago

Needs your mustache wax tin and your fedora to balance the scale.

u/SkinsFan2025 1h ago

It a puck for shuffle board

1

u/Avilola 1h ago

It looks like a table shuffle board piece. The table is covered in this sandy silicone stuff and you slide them as far to the other side as you can without going over, and sometimes try knocking over an opponent’s piece if you have the opportunity.

u/Quigon345 1h ago

Shuffle board rock

u/Educational-Rule1635 1h ago

Too heavy for a shuffleboard puck, which are 13-15 ounces.

1

u/Educational-Rule1635 1h ago

But way too heavy for a Towle Coaster, which are less than 200g(7oz) for a set of six.

u/KittiesRule1968 1h ago

Shuffleboard thing

u/Ok_Evidence5591 1h ago

It is a watch battery for a Giants wristwatch?

Is it Advertising for a certain Beer?

u/makojedi2k2 1h ago

Sorry, again I should have read comments first.

It's a puck for a bowling machine

A coaster lol

u/Nematodes-Attack 1h ago

You are correct! I actually just solved this myself. I will comment the answer

u/Express_Conference27 1h ago

So, you drank the beer, then put the can on the shuffleboard puck, and decided that a 1 lb coaster was the correct answer?! Are you sure, OP?
