found these today

[RJH02]

Hi, I found these today with relichunters. We have definately located an iron patch in the woods. I dont think these are very old and my guess is one of those things you clean your boots on before you walk into a house and maybe a piece of a doorknob? Barber quarter shown just for size. Any ideas?Thanks.

I do think the second is a doorknob piece. However the top can't be a boot cleaner.. The J6062 is a model or number for something... Being Iron I wouldn't have a clue..... But it's in good condition!

Top item appears to be a trivet.

Trivet= Something used to keep a hot pan from burning a table.You may be right.

Possible but why does it have spikes all around it on both sides? It's weird

 

[dozer dan]

to put on the fireplace floor. the spikes to keep the logs from rolling out. it would also keep logs elevated for air circulation for better burning.

I think it's part or all of a cast iron grill for an open flame stove. Monty

Sounds good I can see that happening. But it is very small about the size of a hand. So for a log to sit on something so much smaller. I dunno

 

[ivan salis]

thus the sharp points --and its being made of iron the log being round rested on the points -- sort of in a cradle

With the type of patterns on the points and also of the openings,it would appear to me as being part of a gas burning stove.
