✅ SOLVED Need help with identifying

[dagwood67]

Hello!
A month ago I posted a poor photo of this rusty relic I found metal detecting a 19th century farm.
Some suggestions were a stove lid lifter or a part of a wagon.
I did research and nothing really matched. It was suggested I clean it and post again.
Here it is. I believe it is either cold forged or cast iron.
Does anyone know what this is?

Could it be a broken piece of a cast iron sewing machine base?

Ah! Interesting! I shall research! Thanks!

Maybe part of a fireplace grate.

1st - Here is the original thread: Any idea what this is? (Jul 04, 2020, 06:38 AM).

2nd - I moved ya from METAL DETECTING over to WHAT IS IT? for more exposure.

That's part of a Chain Well Pump.

By golly I believe you nailed it. I have seen a few of those up close and personal in past years of my life but that didn't occur to me now. Good i.d.
