Saw mill iron

[OldQuest]

Found near 1850s sawmill site. The top L shaped bar weights about 8 lbs, and looks like the end on the left has been hammered repeatedly. The bottom piece is probably part of the carriage cog. The middle one just seems to be two bars bolted together, it was probably much longer to begin with.

The bottom piece is a broken rack gear. Probably from the husker frame. The carriage that moves and indexes the log.
