And of course I find a mini safe utterly unbelievable. Also not sure what the thing is in last photos. Very fancy cast iron I think...
Cool little change bank.
Nice poison bottles you recovered.

No idea on the fancy iron piece.
Part of a hanging light chandelier?
 

That is an articulating wall mount for a hurricane lamp.
It keeps the lamp away from the wall and can be positioned as needed.
My grandma had one in her kitchen back in the 60s.
Most were very ornate, like yours.
Oil lamps often sat on something: table, stand, chest of drawers, etc.
The mounts allowed light where there may be nothing to set the lamp on; like in a hallway.

Thanks :) it is barely not crumbled... But it's thale fact I went looking for a safe with money from them. Found the safe haven to go back for the money... Seems unbelievable to me. Treasure hunting DOES NOT work this way.
