throwing out some whatsists before signing off for the day

This was found near the foundation of a barn roughly the diameter of a soda can, thinking rosette but I dont know if the back is correct


dont even know where to begin, some sort of tractor part? its about 6-8 inches long


the top part is roughly the size of a lug nut im wondering if its some kind of gas fitting


i think this may be the longshot of the group i dont even have a guess its small maybe 2-3 inches

Item #1 is definitely a horse-harness/bridle rosette. Based on it having a brass front with sheet-iron back, your version is from the latter-1800s into the early 1900s. Its back had an iron crossbar (mostly missing on yours) which held the harness-straps it was attached to. The photo below shows an intact one.

Yes, definitely a horse rosette.
As you mentioned, the rest of your finds are likely plow or tractor related parts.

Here's a rosette I found a few years ago with the back attachment that yours is now missing.

Hi, your second picture down reminds me of a rocker arm from an old tractor motor. The pushrod would be seated in the groove on the left side with the hole to alow oil to flow through.

Rossette for sure

The threaded piece is the bottom part of an old grease cup. Late1800, early 1900's. Tractor, some autos, hit&miss engines, line shaft etc.



PS: The bottom could be part of an old knife/blade switch, maybe from one of the above?

The second item looks like part of a hinge.

Well I feel good about the rosette and a grease cup, the rocker arm looked close but I didn’t see any In quite the orientation or construction of what I have

 

[Older The Better]

Any chance it’s a variation of a paddle for an ice cream maker?

The bottom picture makes me think of something electrical.

Bottom picture is an accelerator arm off of a carburetor The accelerator rod attaches to the end of the arm and acts a s a lever The second hole is for the return spring.

The "Lug nut" is a Lug Nut Cover Dressy trim to hid the ugly nut below. I think Ford started this.
