A few finds from 2 abandoned homes in SC

[laurahatt214]

Hi guys,

We got a chance to go out hunting in Lowcounty SC this past weekend and we found a few things, but there are 2 items that we are not sure what they are. Here is a photo of them and I am also including a link to the video of when we found them.

Second item might be an escutcheon plate from an old drawer?

Oh wow, we didnt think of that. My hubby said he thought maybe the back part of a door knocker and my mom said the top of a old jewelry tin.

Yes, definitely a backing plate/escutcheon from a drop ring/loop pull.
Here's one (mixed with others) that I believe matches: http://robinsonsantiques.com/drawer-pulls/ring-pull-27.jpg

The first piece looks like a heavy hinge of sorts. Horizontal or vertical?

Yeah Tony that is what my hubby is thinking and we found it close to the house.

I think the first is part of a spring hinge?Couldn't find a match though.

When you're hunting old houses in SC be sure to check where the clothes lines were and the path to the out house.always good around here.

Oh good idea! We will be going back in a few weeks so will look to see if I can find those places.
