Found these at an old migrant camp. Probably something to do with heating and electric. The small thing says wireman and the big one says Steel spindle. I am curious as to what they were used for. Thanks for looking

Second looks like a plug for a treaded hole in a 55 gallon barrel (Bung hole) ((snicker snicker))
Maybe they where part of a barrel converted into a woodstove?

Why of course, I do think your getting to know me I was going to say the first one lookes like somthing my dad used to beat me when i was about 30 or so And does the second one have threads on the back side if it does throw it away it could be part of a timing device and it could go off with any mailing what so ever, be very , very very careful Spittfire :Pspittfire said:grabraham said:First one looks like a Damper for a stove/heating flue.

CF.... if I wanted to get rich from this hobby I would be hitting the beaches and raking in the gold. I love the history of the stuff I am finding, even if it is "junk".
