Iron, hinge, spoon and indian head nickel

[Kevin75931]

Looking around where a country store used to be in the 1920s and 1930s.

Indian head nickel not picture, have it soaking in Worcestershire Sauce.

Also found pieces of 2 files. They are about 3 inches long and still have part of the tang.

Iron was in a chunk of dirt and rust. Handle looks like it broke off a long time ago. I used a small prybar to take the heavy dirt and rust off. Might use a grinder with a wire wheel to clean it up some more.

Spoon broke when I was digging it up.

Hinge is very large, maybe for a barn door?

Now that's an authentic iron iron you got there
Would have been heated up on a coal or wood stove before the modern advent of gas and electricity.

Nice iron. The top and handle never survive.
