Three ID'S Needed

The first says, Climax Pat. 1 /21 /90 I guess 1890. The other circle with spurs still has gold gilt on it. The lever handle is brass and looks old but has 2008 embossed on it. Arty

Yeah , it is really hard to id without a photo . A photo will give us all kinds of data to work with . And most of the people here are able to ID things quick .

I think the first piece is an adjuster/knob from an oil lamp.

You might be right.

Careful google searching "Climax'

It is. Just search 'Climax patented Jan 21, 1890'. Quite a number for sale on sites.

Nice to know there are other states with towns of the same name. I'd first thought of the one in NC from when I was stationed there. Always thought the town was "conveniently" located between the Walnut Lane Bed & Breakfast and the Rocking F Farm. I'm not even going to ask about the origin of the Old Climax Road south of town.

Anyway, pics of the other two items would really help ...

I think the brass lever is old. 2008 must be a part number or something. The end of the blade looks more worn and oxidized than the rest. Could it be part of an electrical "knife" switch?

The lever handle looks like the lock for a sliding window. The oblong piece slides under the fixed frame to lock the window shut

Re: Three ID'S Needed

Thanks daroofa for the Id without pics.

DCMatt, yes it looks old to me also. Looks like a hole that had iron screw or bolt through it. A lever switch to something...

The circle made out of brass with the gilt and prongs is very odd. It is the size of a nickel... I still have now idea...

Thanks All. Arty
