I don't expect two of these three to be identified as they could be just bearing or belong on the inside of any machine, the 3rd on I'm more interested in, sandblasted the rust off of it and curious what it came from. All finds when I was at a lake in Arnold California. 20200802_172133.jpg 20200802_172151.jpg 20200802_172200.jpg 20200802_172211.jpg 20200802_172229.jpg 20200802_172303.jpg 20200802_172310.jpg 20200802_172321.jpg 20200802_172815.jpg

Thrust washer/bearing, for a boat prop,etc? Long piece could be the top of a gas tank?
Your guess is as good as mine on the bearing things. The area had some sort of town on it before they put the lake in where I found this stuff. I think the longer thing is some sort of gas tank cap maybe motorcycle? I was hoping someone knows off what though. I think the bearing things are going to be nearly impossible to identify but I posted them anyways as I've seen people identify things I thought impossible to identify.

Is it magnetic? If not, it might be a sacrificial zinc anode from a boat. They come in a lot of shapes and sizes. anode.jpg

Not sure about the thick washer with the swirls but the washer with the two grooves is a 1909-1927 Model T differential thrust washer.
The other is a 1933 - 36 Chevy radiator cap. The first factory ones were stamped steel and later changed to die-cast. The screw was added to mount a mascot on.

The car looked a lot sharper with a mascot riding on the hood!

I always hold on to model T stuff have a few things now a new piece. I know probably not worth much but I like the history and even the Chevy thing I find neat. Finds I though where nothing worth while turned out to be interesting.
