1 last year - 2 this year ID needed ?

[Mike in Berks]

Hey all, I dug the one on the right last year out of the back yard of a 19th century farmhouse
I dug the left and middle one this year out of the backyard of a 1851 farmhouse
I asked a 78 yr old man who grew up on farms and he had no idea ?
So, i'm counting on you people to help me out on these

Victorian era picture hangers. A picture rail (a type of molding) was hung on the wall a little below the ceiling, and those hooks were hung on the rail. A wire dropped from the hanger to the picture, allowing you to hang pictures at varying heights without driving nails all over your nice plastered walls. I like them a lot.
