Another Park Relic--Not What? but How Old?

[36coupe]

Found 7 inches deep in park produced in 1920 either item is from the covered over Civil War era house trash pit or from the 1866 School House across the street.

Marked WATERBURY a cast iron 8 inch stove lid lifter. Will soon hit my Electro tank business.

Thank you in advance for any help here.

Thanks ANT-- am still looking for a general age of the lifter. Seems Waterbury Stove Works info not readily available on the web as much as often seeing Waterman-Waterbury Stove? business.

Relic in the ground previously to 1920 is the only age I can start from.
