Whate are these

[TJQ]

Major rain today at camp.. unearthed these? I think they are wood stove cranks that stirred up the coals in the stove.. anybody else got any ideas?

Think so too ( spring handle )...we found some very similar by Sarge a few years back .

[TJQ]

It just weird.. cause there were three different ones .. all together.

HMMM.. so once upon a time someone else drank whiskey in that exact same spot...

[Muskieman]

I see the size of your thumb now .. I sent the picture to my brother , he recalls my Dad having some , my other brother apparently has them ( says the wood is burned off ) has no clue what they are .

[Muskieman]

Look like some kind of drill bit or rasp to me .. a prospectors tool.

... TJ ?

Yep, wood stove ash crank thing.

[Sinker]

I would say they are the turn outs from a coal stove, not wood. Someone probably used the stove for wood, and dumped those right where you found them.

Yes, we had those in our coal furnace in the 50's. The 3 of them mesh together.

That was the 1950's Arthur. 1850's would have been J's.
