A day at the dump - bottles, tools, bells, and good stuff

[Kevlardini]

Looks like the days are getting fewer to go hunting as the weather gets colder and colder. However I had that I-need-to-go-hunting feeling, and decided to go. The bottles in this farm dump just aren't as plentiful as when I first discovered it. It seems every single 1800's bottle is smashed, and the only ones that survive are the worthless modern ones. However, I was able to scoop up a few nice finds, including part of an old alarm bell, a chrome finger shaped thing, a nozzle piece with a handle, an ornate gold colored base for something, little sugar tongs, a bottle that says "ACE" and a cool little metal gear. But then comes my favorite piece, an old mason's trowel! It looks pretty old. Sadly, no Bigfoot sightings. I'm willing to bet he'd be around on Halloween night though...


Oh geez! Those are some bad pictures. If anyone is interested, I could take better ones tomorrow when it's light out. Sadly it's not that easy to bring them in the house. They'd be booted out immediately

Does anyone know what the nozzle piece or the gold tray piece might be for?
Also, is the mason's trowel an old piece?

The nozzle looks like it might be from a insecticide sprayer. how big is the gold tray?

 

[Kevlardini]

The gold tray is about 8 inches long and about 5 inches wide.

With the square in the middle I would guess and say maybe came with some perfume or other womens toiletries.

Here is an example of the type of bug sprayer I am talking about

Thanks for the ID! My nozzle looks exactly like the one in your picture. I'd say you nailed that one!
