It,s a linotype printing press insert.From the days of hot type. When it,s inked and pressed into the paper it leaves a proper printed impression!

I don’t think so

The item with saeco on it is likely an ingot of lead or linotype.Saeco is a maker of bullet molds and bullet casting equipment,they made a mold with 4 cavities that would cast a nominal 1 lb.lead ingot. Your ingot looks to be linotype,an alloy of lead and antimony with tin added too,harder than pure lead and fills out the cavities of a mold very nicely. look up Saeco,they,re still in business I think,and linotype press,you,ll get a good feel for the Colorado Press thingy.

Look up linotype printing press.Explains it better than i can.

In toto a really nice bunch of finds,I like them all.You should post that animal tag in the "tokens and tags" Forum under dog tags. a guy there,odd coins,has a wealth of knowledge and reference works on tags like that and can likely tell you all about it.

I worked for a while in my high school days as a printers devil,look that up too,for our local paper.One of my jobs was to get the type metal melted,fluxed and cleaned for the printer to go to work.Part of that was taking old cast letters and such and add them to the mix.

it,s not backwards,it,s upside down as depicted.Turn it over with the print down and the letters are correct. Or imagine the letters down and hold it up over your head and look up,then it reads correct.

Your round thing with all the holes reminds me of an old time radio or TV vacuum tube socket,just a mind fart that may or may not be relevant.

Looks a bit like a part from a manual bud grinder.

Yes, I reversed the picture. I love printing related items. My mother worked for a printer. I studied it in College. I have a couple old presses in my antique store!!

good digs!

Boy you sure uncover a lot of interesting finds in your hunting grounds. Not at all sure what that perforated disk might be?. First thought was a ground beef insert on a hand crank meat grinder, but yours doesn't have a center hole.

Absolutely awesome finds- Congrats!!

Thanks Tamrock, extra good month of hunting!!! It is about quarter size. I'm guessing a paintbrush piece or a flame spreader!!
