Finds from Vennetta Coal Camp

[BattleaxeMoore]

Found this stuff near Gauley Bridge, WV. Axe head was under a rock cliff. If anyone could identify it and give me a rough year I would appreciate it. The other things are an old iron latch, tin lid that says Famous Beauty, not sure what the pedal looking thing is, and a handle from an old cook stove.
