🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Heavy iron object

[Blackfoot58]

4.25 ounces. Appears solid; not hollow. Square nut on one end, I’d guess there is a stud on that end. 2 of the sides, on the large end, are flat. These are on opposing sides, 180 degrees apart. It resembles half of a rear end/final drive for a toy vehicle. But it’s extremely heavy and we’ll built if it is. Found around a bunch of square nails and old sandstone foundation stones. Thanks

On picture didn’t come through and one went up twice. This should be the other one.

Probably a foot off a piece of machinery or oven

Steel screwdriver handle

Steel screwdriver handle

It seems pretty heavy for that usage.

Part of an andiron?

That’s interesting. It could be. You got me thinking fireplace. Maybe a handle from a poker. They were quite heavy so they wouldn’t warp from the heat and so you could hold them a little longer w/o getting burned. (?)

My first thought was... a wood burning stove lid handle.
But, more than likely from a piece of farm machinery.

Thanks. It looks similar. The square nut on the end of mine is what confuses me.
