A few Morning questions. Bullet, copper/brass stuff.

[MackDigger]

I found all of these last season at an old dumpsite that has produced LOTS of neat old relics. Looking at them today I was curious is this a bullet? If not what is it? The other two appear to be copper. No idea on either. The last one wasn't dug. Penny is for scale. Thanks in advance.

 

[MackDigger]

Or brass not sure.

 

[ARC]

The first piece is a cabinet roller catch... or errrr... I cannot think of the correct term.

But that is what it is.

 

[ARC]

Similar ... but not limited to...

This...

 

[MackDigger]

Could be but I dunno. It is longer and has a hole at the bottom. Doesn't really match up.

 

[ARC]

They were made in all types / sizes.

 

[ARC]

Called a "ball roller catch".

 

[ARC]

BTW... your last item is a pocket ashtray.

 

[ARC]

In the possibility I am incorrect on the roller ball thingy...

Could be a "oiler tip"... or some other oddity like it.

Is it magnetic ? ? ?

This would happen IF the ball... OR... a spring of steel is present.

 

[MackDigger]

It's not magnetic. I think it's brass. The thing is though it doesn't have a rolling ball on top like your describing

 

[MackDigger]

Also it looks like there's some sort of lettering on the side.

 

[ARC]

Woah this is much larger now... ?

heh

Welp... looks like some cleaning is in order.

Retrieve the "lettering".

We will move on from there,.. perhaps someone here knows from experience what this is.

 

[ARC]

Can I see the other end ?

 

[MackDigger]

 

[ARC]

I am sticking with roller ball catch.

All brass.

Due to wet / outdoor application.

Until...

Otherwise :P

 

[BFR]

Love the pocket ashtray!!!!

The one item... it says 'deer' on the side... my first thought was a joke - "Is it a deer whistle?" - but... there actually is such a thing (attach to car to... supposed to keep deer from running in front of vehicle)... kinda doubt that is what it is... but...

Could be an old lipstick case

I find those things that look like bullets too. I do not know what they are, but they are NOT bullets.

AARC is really good at this ID thing.

 

[P.ALLEN]

looks like it would fit on a dowel for some type of application.
