Found on property dating to 1860

[Ammoman]

I found these a few weeks ago just before I had my surgery. The property dates back to 1860 but no coins were found older than the 1980’s.
I suspect the property has been hit hard in the past.

Any ideas on age and what these items might be?



Thanks for your help!

The hook thing is a window latch.

Thank you...i suspected it was some sort of locking mechanism but didn't know what it was meant to lock.

The crushed brass tube thing may be a vesta or match safe.

I have dug a few of those brass tube things in the past but was never able to figure out what they were. When i found this one i figured i might get some input. Thank you for a possible direction to go in.

Pretty sure I see old hat/coat hooks with acorn finals. The mounting parts are broken off.

Agreed... I would bet a "hall tree" / "hall stand"... who knows just a nice coat rack / plaque.

The tube may be lipstick... too thin i think for oiler tube.
