i have no idea on these

[allsmith]

found these at an old farm house... they were all in the dirt floor of an old barn foundation... they seem to be copper ..very thin, but very flexible... none of them cracked or broke when i straightened them out... there 2 &3/4 '' long...and 2 '' wide.... my best quess is radiator fins from a tractor or car...or battery grids.. but think battery grids would be lead... any help would be appreciated!!!

They look a lot like those little plackards a farmer sricks in the ground at the end of each row when planting a garden to label what is planted in that row. Monty

I have to go along with the placards....notice the small clip where a card could be placed?

I agree with Monty

This is so easy!

They are name cards so the cows know where to sit for dinner.

allsmith, you said none of them broke when you straightened them out, were they all bent at a 90 deg. angle. Probably cooling fins of some kind, radiator maybe.

Landing paddles for beehives?

If you find a bunch that say "WEEDS" let me know and I'll buy 'em from you for my garden.

[allsmith]

thanks all... im gonna go with plant labels... they are so thin, and bend so easy.. but they are designed so you can engrave them with a pen or pencil... pretty cool!!! thanks all for the help...have a good one!!!!

 

[beavis]

I agree with generik

 

[Bluezman]

What Monty said. I've seen them in the better seed and garden catologs.

 

[lonesomebob]

How about cow ear tags, engrave on them ,slit the ear and insert and fold over. Sorry about that kittypeachy ,or whoever. Bob
