Axehead and a Mystery Item. Help ID.

[fella]

Here are an axehead and a mystery item I could use help IDing.

Axehead found on a property thats house dates to the 1870's. Dimensions are 6¾"x4½"



The "mystery item" was found in a city lot that has been open since the 1850's or before. I've dug some neat railroad related pieces out of the same lot, some other nice relic pieces and a ton of old coins too.

Do you think the axehead would be worth restoring as a show only piece or is best left alone?

Thanks for looking and for any help rendered.

The Axe head looks a lot like the one I found on easter Sunday. I would either put it through electrolysis or leave it alone...

sent from a potato...

I believe your mystery item is the handle and remnants of an egg beater: Vintage Dover Pattern Improved Egg Beater Cast Iron pat'd Feb. 9 1904 from victoriasjems on Ruby Lane
-I was able to read "Dover" on it, making it a bit easier

The listing here shows the back, so as to confirm the shape match to your piece: http://www.rubylane.com/item/715248-429/Antique-Dover-Stamping-Co-x2318
