cast iron

Hello, new to the forum. Hoping someone can help me identify this antique bell (At least we assume it's a bell) we found on our NH property. There appears to be "EV" carved into 2 corners, not sure if that would be a maker mark or something else... There's also a metal rod with a loop on each...

Alright. This is worrying me. Can anyone help me identify this thing? Dimensions are: 3 1/4" H 2 1/16" W 1 1/8" D Bottom has 1/2" Threaded Hole Weight 1.2 lb (1 lb 3 oz) Thanks! Big Mike

I do know it was made by. C.W. & C. " Conklin, Willis & Co." Baltimore MD . BUT I have NEVER seen one this huge . And no one else so far . I have sent pictures to many people but NOTING ! Most of these are the size as the one on the right . Most have 3 or 4 small feet on the bottom , BUT this...

I do NOT think it is a bullet mold because it does NOT close up flat . It is blacksmith made and is very old . It has a name on side but can't read it . It is 15 inches long . Inside top is half round on both sides as you can see . I seen a picture of a tool that a doctor would use to remove...

I dug this massive cast iron something-another about 8-10" deep near a 19th Century home site that I routinely find 1840's-early 1900s iron. This looks more modern, but it was down deep and under roots, so I don't know. Looks like it might be a die/cast of some sort or something machined? My...

I know what the double A battery is...any help is always appreciated:icon_thumright:

This is an odd one for me. I was detecting the lawn around a home built in 1930 (although it is in the very center of town, so I'm sure something stood there before that time.) I pull out a rusted circular piece of iron about 3 inches in diameter which I start to throw in the trash pile...

I bought this today at an estate sale. It's made of cast iron and has five animals stacked on top of each other. I can identify the donkey, dog, and chicken. Not sure of other two (maybe an alpaca?). It is signed by artist on bottom. There was a very small sticker that said "Mexico" on it but it...

Hey guys! I am new to metal detecting as well as this site but I am a man who loves to do his research. On this particular find I have done all of the research I can do and I am still stumped so I am hoping for some help: Background:: The horseshoe was found in Seekonk, Massachusetts U.S.A ...

About 10 years ago I bought a house which had quite a bit of stuff left in it from the previous owners who had passed away. The garage had lots of toys and misc other old stuff. I have recently decided to attack all the boxes in my garage and try and get rid of most of it. Need to park my car in...

I have been digging a site that dates about the 1850's. I started finding parts of this stove in a bout a foot of iron ore. Still finding more pieces. My problem is that I have done about 12 solid hours of research to no avail. NOBODY seems to know anything about it. I've looked through every...

Sorry for the repost, but I am not getting responses when I post things in bulk, so I am reposting my finds seperately. I found this piece of a gun in the woods in East Texas. Looking for info on if it is a cast iron toy gun or part of a real one.
