The 3rd one is part of a choke unit of a carburetor.

First pic looks like a window latch.

Can you open the small lid on the second one? It reminds me of a locking gas cap.

 

[MackDigger]

Thanks guys... I don't think it opens but it was also dug out of the ground so it could just be stuck shut.

....Best guess ..... automobile Vent Window lock ..... without seeing the reverse , a 40s truck Horn Button .... A choke Heater Housing from a carburetor(aluminum? ).

Thanks 4x4. I don't think the carburetor is aluminum it's heavy. Not sure what it is made of. How old do you think the window latch is? And here's a pic of the back side of the second item.

I can't place your first item it right now, but have seen it before. Your second item is a radiator cap to a pre 40s auto. and as already mentioned your third item is the bottom half of an older carburetor.

The third piece is an end bell for something. I thought the piece sticking out was a wire but it is a lever. Looks the end of the solenoid for an old mechanical operated ( pedal push type) starter.

Second one is a gas cap.

#2 may be a locking gas cap from the 40's/50's. Item #3 is definitely an automatic choke cover (pot metal).

Should I try to force it open?

Should I try to force it open?

That's up to you, it's not going to lose any monetary value so why not

 

[MackDigger]

Think it's worth anything as is? I never sell stuff I dig but I still like to know what if anything it's worth.

 

[MackDigger]

Boom baby! A discovery within a discovery i love it!

 

[DCMatt]

Now go find the key...

Matt's right. Housing for an old thermo spring choke!!
