Need help identifying four company trademarks.
-The first is of a harp stamped into a very thin aluminum lid.
-The second is of two 'C's and an 'H' on a aluminum screw cap.
-The third is of a 'C-H' inside a cube with another icon below that. The item is probably cast aluminum and the no. G488-? is raised on the back side. 1/8” thick. Possible an old auto carb part?
-The fourth item with a stamped 'W'. (Westinghouse)? It looks like it might have come off some type of electrical item.

Also need help identifying several items.
-The fifth item is possibly a turn handle with the middle broken out. Made of fairly heavy non-ferrous silvery metal, weighs 3 oz., slightly over 2" dia
-The sixth item is a tapered cigar shaped copper or brass item, weighs 4 oz., is 5" X 5/8" at widest point with the word 'Reliable', below that is 450L, below that an 'STR', below that the # 244050. There is a spring inside with openings on each end. One end has something plugging it, the other is open, the hole narrows until the wider spring location.
-The seventh item is tapered, made of brass with four grooves. The narrow end screws off but the hole in the detached part doesn’t go thru. 2 1/2" long, weighs 1 oz.
-The eighth item with the gecko looking lizard is 3-1/4" x 2", is plated over a non-ferrous metal and was possibly oval shaped. I think had it been tube shaped it would have creased each side more when it was crushed. Weighs 4 oz.
-The ninth oval shaped thin item with four holes looks like a women’s or child’s shoe sole tap but I’m unsure. Probably made of brass, 2-¾” x 2-¼”, weighs 22 grams.
-The tenth rectangular item is brass, weighs 5 ¼ oz, measures 3-¼” x 1-¼” x 7/16” thick on the ends. The middle tit is broke out. Door or lock part? :icon_scratch:
Thanks in advance.

The 3rd item looks like the Crouse Hinds Company logo. Makers of electrical enclosures.
The 6th item is an electrical tension splice.
The 7th and 8th photos look like part of a throwing dart. ( just a guess on this one )

The 5th item, wheel lookin thing, is the flywheel from a toy gyroscope. The oval piece with the hole could be a golf club face plate. Tony

#1 Looks like an old condom tin.

Pictures 7 & 8 could be an old chalk holder for writing on a blackboard. Picture 9 maybe a sleeve for a plastic bic lighter? Those are my guesses.

#1 is a compact lid, I believe.

Whew! You've been busy.

The shape in #1 is a lyre, usually a symbol for high-school bands. So possibly a condon tin lid. (This one time, at band camp . . .).

#4 is the face of a web-belt belt buckle (Boy Scout and Marines type belt). "W" for Western or Wrangler?

Charles, looks like you nailed it on the electrical tension splice and the crouse-hinds trademark.

I also think you right about #7 being a dart.

Tony you nailed it on gyroscope

7a, I agree. It definitely looks like the driver heel plate in the photo.

Thanks guys for the input.
The Dart Barrel is very interesting :o I have never seen one that can take the two sets of different stem sizes, the 1/4 bsf & the 2ba, good ID and Find :thumbsup:

#1 may been a condom tin lid but I doubt a compact lid because it’s so thin. Would there have been a loop or some type of protrusion where the penny is for pulling the lid off?

Just curious, does anyone know of a book that shows vintage company logos, trademarks, symbols, etc? Library reference book?

Item #8 with the lizard is so unusual. It’s probably too heavy for a lighter case plus it’s open on each end. The back side is a copy of the front side. Maybe the end views will help.

Item #10 is also a tough one. It's solid brass, came from an 1900 era home site. Perhaps the side view will help.

Charlie, I found these items over the last year or so and I’ve been lazy about not posting them sooner. Your ID of #4 sounds good. The attached pic of the front side shows the ‘W’ better.

Thanks again for the help.
