I got three please.

[Nana40]

First ones....
I have found several of these and don't have a clue as to what they're for. These two aren't exactly the same, but along the same lines...one looks like it says 'Airco'? maybe and then some numbers and a style number.........

Second one.........
Kinda looks like a key but it looks like it's broken off on the fat end and would have been longer.

Thirdly........
The Ranney Porcelain. Porcelain what? Anyone ever heard of this company?

Thanks so much! Nana

Cant belive I'm the first one, the 2 tapered clinder things are cutting torch tips, Airco is a common manufature of welding supplies.

Ditto on the cutting torch tips

I wonder if the Ranney Porcelain has anything to do with the Ranney Refrigerator Company out of Greenville Michigan.

 

[Nana40]

GEEZE! That was fast! Thanks ya'll!!!

Stoney...I don't know. I googled the name but didn't come up with anything substantial. Could very well be a tag off an old fridge. Thank you!

The second item maybe some type of old jail key. http://cgi.ebay.com/Old-Brass-Key-V...68122300QQihZ020QQcategoryZ3557QQcmdZViewItem

Wow, thanks you guys!

A jail key!? Wonder what that was doing in the woods!

Thanks again!!! Nana

Neat finds, Nana. Glad all 3 were identified. Now, I got to figure out how Tony found the pic that I spent nearly an hour last night searching on the www. Makes you wonder how some things are found where we find them, puzzling huh?

I don't think that the second item is a key...close though...I think it's a locking bolt for a door.

Long ago the US Marshall Service use to haul prisoners they collected here and there back to a court of record for trial. The transport was more or less just a jail cell mounted on a wagon bed. They would have used a key much like that you found. Just a guess though. Monty

 

[Nana40]

Yes it does, RR. :P Thanks for looking though.

HMMMM.. Jim...that's a thought! Could be. The road beside the woods I found it in is very old...so..a possibility.

Thanks!! Nana

Neat finds Nana---That old key is cooool.
