I have the parts; let's rebuild it!
I found all of this stuff in the same hole, but it came out one piece at a time. The location was a "rails to trails" path in Baltimore City. I found a wheat about 20' away, but then I found a 1970's dime only 10' away. The part on the lower right looks like if I unfolded it, it would match the part on the lower left. The gear still attached to that part is about the size of a 50 cent piece. I'm guessing a clock because that quarter sized piece in the middle reminds me of the flywheel on a pocket watch I once disassembled. Patent specialists: is there any significance to the 4099 on what appears to be a hanger?
Is it old enough to have been tossed out of a "Ma and Pa" train or was it more likely dumped down the hill by a local? Thanks for reading.
