✅ SOLVED Possible Cast Iron Stove Part?

[CaseKeatley]

Was detecting in a late 19th early 20th century cabin site in the woods and found this little piece. On the front, it says:
"Noble
Cook
Improved
1869"
And then on the right side there's an 8. If anyone has any info on this, please reply!

Maybe air vent for cook stove. This is a Charles Nobel co. stove.

Supporting what Taz42o said:
Charles Noble & Co. was the owner/operator of the Liberty Stove Works (of Philadelphia PA) in the latter-1800s. In 1871 he received US Patent #120,528 for an improved cookstove gridiron.

And the "Noble Cook" was a line of stoves they had. I could find reference to it, but no pictures, with the exception of an advertisement: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VICT-P...CHAS-NOBLE-COOK-STOVE-MFG-PHILA-/310868401187
