WD,

Just a wild guess but could that be from an old cast iron stove?

Well, IDK. I thought that also and have been searching and searching. I did follow the tip of the old printing press, also, and found this interesting pic and information that the emblems were typically knocked off. I wish I could find a positive ID. I can't imagine why parts of a printing press would be here. But I can see in this pic where it would seem to fit.

I reached out to a friend to help ID that emblem. He came up with another possibility of an old printing press emblem. Then, I thought maybe an old sewing machine emblem or petal. Does anyone have a clue? Or did I find a stumper of a "What Is It?"

I don't know my metals, so I can't say what it is. It was not in the ground, but lodged in the rocks that brace the drainage pipe that runs under our driveway. It is a little pitted with rust.

Try looking at antique wood burning stoves.
That looks the a front plate for a large potbelly stove.
Champion is a maker of stoves long ago.
I'm almost certain that I have seen a large nickel plated stove that had New Champion on the plate.
A starting point.
This is a Champion stove.

I don't want to give that a "like" but I did. Dude, take care of yourself, please.

I was running on my treadmill just before I posted that on a 10% grade.

A Cast Iron Stove makes sense because I found this last year in the same general area. I just wish I cold find a pic that has it all together.

 

[WannaDig3687]

I found this in the creek also. I thought they could be from an old dresser, but could be from a stove also, I guess.

LOL, you still haven't figured out who that was, huh? I was guessing it was j-g ( P. M. now), but I would guess it was someone from the ole RCT. I can tell you it wasn't me. (Bill, please don't play that song!)

 

[WannaDig3687]

Alright, I must call it a day.

Thanks, everyone, for all your help!

That picture makes me think of a wooden bench with cast iron legs/arms.

... ECS my "friend"...

You have antagonized me until I responded... then you crapped out... I see no point in continuing if the fun has subsided.

Well, as Mel would say, "Today is the day"!
...and as AARC replied, "You said that yesterday"!

Alright, Bart! You successfully lured me away from my work into an endless afternoon of research! LOL! But I came up empty.
Idk. I may never find an exact answer.

On the plus side, Mr WD thinks it’s cool and he brought up my she-shed again so I am looking for that too.

are you doing reconnaissance now?

Well after a year of court and fines and having to buy a new boat....the shark boat has finally got going again. It is one of the most dangerous jobs on the water, and I was training a new mate last year to take my place. I can fill in fish anytime I want and honestly it was killing me at my age to keep up the intense pace needed to do the job effectively. Well sadly my replacement died yesterday while working on deck. He was cutting and packing fish one minute and then dead on the deck next. My boys performed CPR along with the government observer until the coast guard intercepted them and took over. Sadly my friend and protege was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The relentless pace probably drove him right into a heart attack....well see ? Rest in peace erin.....I'll miss you bud !!
That's him in the ice hole packing sharks. The name says it all it's a high stakes game and not everyone wins. I told him it might mame or kill him if he wasnt careful.....he wanted the job bad and always gave 110%. This job will tear down the most physically fit men and leave them hobbled and broken. It's a brutal struggle with each beast all day every day and they just keep coming. Erin I'm sure has no regrets he died doing what he loved. How do you explain your day to your wife when you walk in the door after a week of hand to hand combat with hundreds of sharks each day......you dont....no one will believe you !!! You just say hello honey and try and listen to the things that they think were big issues in there mundane work day. Erin shared this incredible job with me and we were in the same fox hole watching each others back with a deck full of live sharks chomping at us. No one can take those memories from me. I love you bro !!
