Finds from the old trash dump

[simulant]

These are a few things my son and I picked out of a 20s-40s trash dump near our house. Not sure what these things are really. Would appreciate any help ... thanks!

The valve looks like an original style from a Model A, based on the tapered bottom:

But that could be wrong, depending on the size of these items, which I can’t tell for certain.

is that a toilet paper holder I see?

The valve toilet paper holder (lol) is 4 7/8" long. Related to Ford Model 'X' finds, I did find this Model T kerosene sidelamp lens in the same pit so it very well could be a Model A valve.

The chrome items looks like part of a deer whistle/alarm. You mounted it on your front fender to scar deer off the road.

this is what I thought was a toilet paper holder , not the engine valve or the lamp you've posted LOL

I like the letter press letters!

butcher paper rack, not toilet paper

 

[ArfieBoy]

butcher paper rack, not toilet paper

I agree!

 

[ticndig]

seems mighty short for butcher paper . compare it to the valve.. all the butcher paper I buy is 24'' long. but I have seen dispensers in that fashion..

Chrome piece is a hay sickle bar blade guard.

 

[ticndig]

It's similar in shape to a guard but that's about all it is. the guards are bigger and not chromed . I think it's a car part of sorts.

 

[matthewc61]

One way to tell for sure if there is a groove where the blade would sit in .

 

[simulant]

I thought car part too when I first found the chrome piece. I took a couple more pictures. It's also just under 4" in length.

 

[simulant]

Couple of ideas I had about the chrome piece are a flag holder or a boat cleat, although I haven't seen any boat cleats with an opening in the piece like that.

The crome piece is one end of a handle mount.
There would be another just like it for the other side and the handle would pivot up and down between them.

can you show an example ?

 

[ticndig]

lots of good guesses on the chrome piece.I explored the handle mount idea and believe it's one end of hardware to a grab bar from an early camper or boat. being pointed and chromed it was meant to be seen and look stylish . I found lots of hardware close but not an exact match.

I was thinking it could be an old hood ornament from an old car potentially something like these
