JUNK.....??

[Joe(TX)]

...I almost threw this away...at first glance it looked like can slaw..it came up in about 25 pieces..it is a very thin metal...maybe copper or maybe brass ...I do not know....my hunting buddy thought that it was made out of tin??....if one looks close on the individual pieces that seems to be a series of stamped images which looks like to be Flames..before this was smashed it looks like it may have circular shaped......any help would be appreciated...it was found at an old church site and some of the coins in the area were dated 1909 thru 1919....Thanks Joe

Part of a light fixture I would guess. Hit by a lawn mower, rototiller, hungry goat who had second thoughts?

No electric wires...no socket...just a very thin stamped (brass??) piece that has flame designs on it....may have been shaped like a cup at one time??....Joe

Early Mayan jigsaw puzzle?

Maybe it was a candle holder. Very decorative, built to last. Shame it was destroyed.

I think it might have been a flue cover, to cover the hole on the wall that was left when cast iron stoves were removed. That is if it was disk like in shape.

What are you waiting for Joe. Start putting that puzzle together. Looks like a good challenge for a rainy day. Or the long NE winters.

could it be from a rifle stock?
