Alien Tools???

[TXPlugKutter]

I found these today while searching an old church site. They were all found within 20 feet of each other. They seem to be copper. They are also pretty heavy. I cannot find any marks on them at all.

Does anyone have a clue to what they are??

The first two from the left seem like they might be parts from a large door locking/opening/ closing mechanism. An uneducated guess anyway.

Thats kinda what I was thinking but the one on the right really is odd. It almost looks like some sort of stick figure when you stand it up.

The one on the right looks like an old barrel bung wretch

or spanner wrench.

I googled barrel bung wrench and spanner wrench and cannot find a comparable picture. Some close but not exact. It seems too small to be a tool since you coundn't get much leverage.

I wonder if it goes on a musical instrument...piano? organ?

Looks similar to the parts in the interior door lock assemblies i
recently replaced in my 20`s dutch colonial.

(mortise locks)

There are many different types of spanner wrenches. You could be right. It is kinda small.

Could the item on the far right be some form of counter balance/weight? I swear that it looks familiar.

I agree with lock pieces... (the first two) I had some ID'd here too - a long time ago.

I had the locks laying around, here`s a pic with the similar parts.
(sorry about the grainy pic, the shiny abject is a dime)

I agree, all parts from the same door latch assembly. Part in the middle would be the deadbolt.

 

[Hemisteve]

I agree also. All three pieces from a full mortise leverset. Possibly old Baldwin.
More likley brass instead of copper.
I have opened many in my career to reverse the "swing" or repair and even the newer ones mechanisms are similar to those pictured.

Nice finds, probably more pieces near where those were found.

DING DING DING!!!!! we have a winner!!! all 3 are parts to a large door latch mechanism, most likely the front door of the church !!!! It would also require a large skeleton key!!! QUICKSILVER(appletree)

I think everyone has agreed that these were parts of a locking mechanism. I appreciate everyones input on them.
