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.Thrust washer/bearing, for a boat prop,etc? Long piece could be the top of a gas tank?
Which item are you referring to?An inspection cover to a boiler, to open and inspect the flame.
Scratch that I know which item you mean the one with the screw on the topAn inspection cover to a boiler, to open and inspect the flame.
Thank you for the informationNice finds! I found a tear-drop cap similiar to yours and I think its off a chevy radiator 1950s
Stellar identification don't know how you guys do it. Thank you so much. Neater then I thought they were, I thought it was junk.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. View attachment 1853769 View attachment 1853770 View attachment 1853771 View attachment 1853772
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.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.
