Was detecting in a late 19th early 20th century cabin site in the woods and found this little piece. On the front, it says:
"Noble
Cook
Improved
1869"
And then on the right side there's an 8. If anyone has any info on this, please reply!
Supporting what Taz42o said:
Charles Noble & Co. was the owner/operator of the Liberty Stove Works (of Philadelphia PA) in the latter-1800s. In 1871 he received US Patent #120,528 for an improved cookstove gridiron. Patent US120528 - Improvement in gridirons - Google Patents
