Farm field finds any idea what they are??

[Dirt fishing Wolf]

Todays finds were a day of twos, iron blades, brass or copper latches or maybe clock parts, and
2 half round things with a hole at one end, when I put the two of these together they look like
a top for a post and maybe held together with something wrapped around the groove. Thanks
for looking. DFW

Steel plow pieces and the 2 piece item looks like some sort of pulley

The iron pieces look like broken bush hog blades. The things in pics 2 &3 look like parts from an electrical box? The last two I think are insulators for an electric fence. Tony

I concur. If I recall correctly, I think the split insulators were meant for corner posts... But, I have been wrong before.

Thanks for your input guys. The insulator looking things are brass. The homesite where I found these was gone before 1926
plat was published and was on the 1899 plat.

I agree with you on pics. 2&3.As being some part of a latch or door knob part.Here's a couple I've found from 1800's home sites.And I've never looked into it, but was my first thought when i found mine.

They are the bolt/latches/locks for these types of door knobs (Rim lock door knobs fixtures).The V shaped part is were the skeleton key fit into the the piece to slide the part back and forth to lock or unlock.

Could be from mortise locks too. Can't tell the insides of one from the other unless you have a perfect match still in the lock case.

Agreed could be.But the bottom line is it's from the lock part of a door that took a sleleton key to work.

One here that is open so it can be seen.Pull up pic. and it's the 3rd one I think.

Interesting, I found something very close to what you found in pix 2 and 3. Very heavy, and found in a farm area, where an old log cabin was located.
Good luck,
Bunker

SOLVED TIMEKILLER. more pics. http://www.instructables.com/id/Cleaning-and-Repairing-an-Antique-Mortise-Door-Loc/

I studied this several days ago but I must be losing it lol.
The part in question is a deadbolt on the bottom.

I know I have seen that split round piece before but I cant place it.

Yea I said rim lock but it could be either.I mainly said that because when I was young the house I grew up in had them all though it bedrooms,bathrooms,halls,kitchen.You know the kind of house I'm talking tongue & groove walls big wooden doors.Anyway the front & back main doors were the only ones with the mortise locks.So I was just thinking there would be more of a chance for a rim lock type to be found at least here in my area.(more homes were set up that way around here).
