Your indoor lighting source is from a bad angle creating very bad shadows. Take the pic tommorrow in daylight with a darker background like blue or green and the pics should be better. Use Macro lens no flash.

You've got dark stuff on a white background. I stand by that response.

Re: ? don't know what i got here ?
to me the first one looks kinda like a telegraph key --- you know the part they tap out a message with ---the last one a is part of a spur I think.

Re: ? don't know what i got here ?
I think the first one could well be the thumb piece from an old door latch or something similar. The last isn't a spur. If the holes are different sizes as it appears in the photo, I would think it operated vertically (holes up and down) with a rod going through the larger hole and a smaller top pin through the top hole, allowing it to rotate without falling down the rod. Maybe all three are part of a gate. The piece with the holes might be one part of one hinge of an ornamental gate. They are often designed so that the gate half of the hinge drops over a vertical post.

Re: ? don't know what i got here ?
ah a thumb press type door latch --that sounds good for # 1 and the "ears" that stick out on the side is the "pivot point" of the latch
makes good sense.

Re: ? don't know what i got here ?

The piece in the center photo, and marked #4 in the bottom photo is a broken Screw Cockeye off of a harness. Yours is quite a bit older than the ones pictured here, but I think these will give you a good idea as to what it originally looked like.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Basically cockeyes were primarily used to attach the harness trace strap to the heel chains which were connected to a singletree.
IronSpike said:Great ID creskol
What were these screw cockeyes used for? Some sort of buckle/harness function
