Axle pieces.

Axle pieces. The piece on the left seems odd. I'm convinced that it's the muzzle to a cannon and I'm taking that idea to the grave. Lol. Over 12 inches deep.

Any idea on how to date this?

Looks a great deal like parts from an old irrigation system IMO. Appears to be an impeller housing from the pump and a few adapters/fittings.
I’m not sure though. I really hope your cannon muzzle idea is right.👍🏼

Wondering whether an iron cannon muzzle would be that thin-walled?

Pretty sure it's all axle parts.

Well, the item, 2nd from the left, sure looks like the intake for a pump impeller. I’ve never seen a cannon or axle that looms like it.

Definitely not a cannon as they are very thick 3-5" and heavy brass. The metal has to be able to withstand the charge as well as the compression when being fired with out having the barrel explode
