Anyone know what these two items are?

[mainer]

Hey all got these two items today at an old cellar hole. I think I have seen both these items somewhere but cant think of what they are? So maybe someone on here can tell me. The first thing reminds me of a gun barrel, but dont think thats what it is. Its about 4 inches long and one end is flared out. The next thing is made to measure something I guess? I origanly thought it was a piece to a thermometor til I cleaned it now I dont know what it is. This measures about 4 and a half inches long. Any help is much appreciated.

i think your first item is a ramrod guide or tube.

I think your right thats why it looked so familiar. Thanks for that ID.

nice finds.
the second appears to be a liquid level gauge of some sort

Rain gauge?

For sure!

is the gauge part of a barometer?

Based on length and shape, your ramrod pipe is the upper pipe from a Brit military musket or early Board of Ordinance Indian gun. 18th century.

Wow had no idea it was that early. Thanks for that Lucas.

Nice one Mainer....now find the rest of it!!!

Your other piece looks like part of a spring scale?

 

[mainer]

Thanks Kuger! Wouldnt the numbers be backwards for a spring scale? I would think the 90 would be at the top and the bigger number would be on the bottom? Thats just a guess. I thought that would be an easy one to ID. Seems its not as easy as I thought.

-I think -- the temp item ---is--- a ""correct " fluids level based upon temp gauge == at (low temp ) 100 degrees the fluid level should be at the low mark -=-at the higher temp level (105 degrees) the expanding liquid should be at the max "high" level --so its a liquids "gauge" for something than ran betweem 100 to 105 degrees * as the normal running temp.

the ram rod tube is spot on IDed--great job guys
