    A couple of unknowns

    Went out this weekend for a little while and came up with these two thingy's and was just curious if anyone has ever seen these before or has any idea what they might be.

    One is certainly a U.S. minted quarter. Another is possibly a Lufkin tape measure. A third is a part of a cabinet latch assembly and the last is definitely an unknown, as you stated.

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    a set of automotive points? lol


    I have seen the first pic somewhere before but cannot place it.
    Is it really a brass gate latch? It looks brass. There are over 8000 images of "gate latch" on google but I cant find it.
