Well, as i was detecting and old (modern-ish) house site, i came across something very odd. It is about 3 inches tall and 2 and a half inches long(on the top) It is in the shape of a T, and says "BERG MFG. CO. CHICAGO U.S.A SHUR-LOCK" At the bottom, it has 4 holes and at the top, there is an oblong hole in the shape of a semi-circle. On the back there is, in cursive, "Bery". It might be a rv hook up, but i'm not sure, if so is there a date. I also found a broken cap gun. if you still don't know, i'll post a picture.

Please Help.......

Got some advive from a friend, he said that is was a tail-gate hook-up assembly from 1950's, hope to find silver there too

Re: Odd....

My first guess would be that its from the Berg manufacturing that makes musical instruments, made before the name changed to Humes & Berg. It could be a peice from one of their heavy duty carrying cases... like part of the lock, thus the shur-lock.
