ok im thinking that gun piece is for a trigger guard off of a musket? 1700s?
the lock....i have no idea
that hook thing....idk....looks like a thing to remove the iron plates from a stove

i can not find the company this lock is made by. does anyone know how to spell this lock company? i want to know the time frame im digging in....

I am pretty sure that your lock is by Russell and Erwin Co. I'm not sure what the "S A" above the monogram means though. They were in business from 1839 til 1902 from what I can find.

The triggerguard looks too delicate to be from a musket, more likely a fowler.

Never seen a "tool" like that to remove stove plates. There were mostly wood burners here as I grew up. All seemed to have more of a "handle" look like the handle on a skillet. But.......

Hmm. Possibly. I think I found out the piece came from a musket in the middle 1800's

Thanks
