Objects & where they’re from | contains spoilers: aired ep

[mia]

There are loads of interesting objects and places to be found throughout the episodes. We comment and post them on each episodes forum, but I thought it would also be cool to have them in one place. Thus this post. I’ll be editing this post after every new episode (if there’s anything to add).
If you find any more or I forgot anything, please post it. If possible, please also send me a screenshot I can put here (pm or to e-mail, both through the forum).
Oh, and I’ve never seen Lost, so if there’s an object from it, please tell me so, because I won’t recognize it. 😉

I’ll be updating the fotos in due course, not in the mood to search and upload right now. xD

What about the cookies from True North. MM made the kids cookies and the same cookies were also decorations inside the blind witch’s house.

[Snickerdoodle]

also Geppeto’s parents as puppets

[Snickerdoodle]

What about glass from SW’s coffin

[mia]

Thanks! I knew I had forgotten something (the puppets).

[Snickerdoodle]

What about Emma’s Blanket? Where would that go?
And I just thought of the skeleton keys 😉 Those transcend both worlds along with Regina’s apple tree.

Also the view to watch the fireflies Dreamy and Nova had is a Disney logo reference:)

Rumpel’s spinning wheel

I think that’s it for now.

[mia]

added the blue star candle from Emma’s muffin

[Snickerdoodle]

Archie’s umbrella and Pongo

Would Emma’s last name and the Swans on Henry’s light be considered LOST references? What about LOST number references? Henry gets off train at gate 4 in pilot; Clock stuck on 8:15, Regina’s house number 108, eye close ups in 8:15 (Emma) and the Heart is a Lonely Hunter (Graham). Someone figured out there were 108 boxes in the EQ’s heart chamber (9×12), Zoso dagger similar to the dagger used in LOST used to try to kill mother, Jacob and man in black; 23 on strangers motorcycle plate; EQ turns into black smoke; Hansel and Gretel wake up on the ground looking up like happened in several LOST episodes; Emma crashed into a sign with the numbers 4 and 23; In Dreamy sister Astrid says they sold only 42 candles.
