🔎 UNIDENTIFIED IDs on a few items

[JunkDetector]

These were all found in what appears to be a home dump site dating to 1920s-1930s.

Pictures 1 and 2 are what I'm thinking is part of a shotgun.

Picture 3 I'm thinking is horse related?

Picture 4 I'm thinking is a harmonica reed?

Picture 5 looks almost like a tiny bucket. The "bucket" is very thin.

Picture 6 appears to be a flattened tin of some sort.

Nice. Agree with 1,2 & 4. Someone likely knows what shotgun that barrel came from.

I think 4...is part of a metal screw clamp?

Thank you!

Good finds! 1 &2 could be an early Hopkins and Allen shotgun?

Could be. How could I determine that it is part of a clamp vs a harmonica reed or something else?

It’s a harmonica reed. Not part of a screw clamp.

Thanks! What features allow you to hazard a guess on the maker? Would additional pictures be of any help?

Thanks for the confirmations. It's my first harmonica reed so I'm excited to have finally found one!

The double tang under the barrel was used by a couple of Allen made guns? Baker, Richards etc. Look at Ebay and parts dealers?

Pictures 1 and 2 appear as a double barrel for a shotgun The buckle could be part of horse tack. I Think you are correct on the harmonica reed. No idea on the last picture

Hi,
Yes Harmonica Reed as stated

 

[Almy]

You might be able to reveal the maker's name and model with some rust removal. On many shotguns, those marks were on the top of the barrel near the breech.

#5 looks like it could be a spring, or a part of a spring..
