I have no idea what the large thing is. It says pat 1921 on the back.

It's shown in the first pick next to a newer belt buckle and a bullet casing that should show the size but if not I could take new ones.

 

[MackDigger]

Is the small buckle from a shoe? And if so how old?

Your 'large thing' might be a door handle from an older car.

I found it at the base of a 100+ year old hill climb that has yielded quite a bit of old automobilia but wouldn't it have to be VERY old to have this type of handle?

I'm thinking 50's to early 60's. Seems familiar to me, but I can't place it exactly. Probably an inside handle. You might post it on the 'What is it' forum.

Hmm thanks, I did under "pat 1921" but no1 had responded yet.

Its just funny, somehow-- I am trying to think of all the cars I ever rode in as a kid. I just -know- I've seen that handle in one of 'em, but just can't put my finger on it! I remember tracing the grooves with my fingernail. Maybe it was a grandparent's car-- or truck? This is going to bother me until I find out! I hope you get a response soon. Good luck!

Haha you sound right on the money because like i said the spot I dug it they have been running a hill climb with cars and trucks for over 100years so being car related sounds right.

Might be a window lock for a casing window - hard to tell true size from photo
