1890 - 1910 relics from fallen house, (need help)

[relichunters]

So the relic hunters have found relics again! This house was built in 1890 and fell down years later. It was made of pasted rock, and the chimmey was handmade brick. The house is roughly 5 feet down in the ground, half of the rocks and brick is out of the ground. Here is a few things we found (uncleaned) and need help figuring out what they are. It was like a farm house or something, and I believe some of it may be to a woodstove? All is Iron

That 1 piece looks like a bicycle crank.

It is a bicycle pedal crank

I see a couple of wood burnig stove pieces there, and a big "?" on the rest.

Nice digs!

Straight across it's about 10"

What does it say around the edge of your relics8 photo? The 10" diameter round piece is probably a lid to the back burner of a wood stove. The back burners were larger than the front burners. I think one of two pieces might be part of the ash box on a wood stove, but without something in the photos for size comparison it's hard to tell.

Those handmade bricks might be worth saving. If you have the space available, why not grab a bunch of them if they are in good condition, and save them for use around your own place or for sales to people who are doing restoration?

It says Reservation Flush. (I think I spelled that right?) so no clue, or why it would be in such an old house

Sorry about not adding size comparisons to it. I should have done that. I also disabled the date/time from the photos now so they don't block stuff.

I have about 10 bricks that are unbroken and almost in tip top shape. Has green mold or something growing on some, but look good.
