TJQ Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskieman Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 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 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Look like some kind of drill bit or rasp to me .. a prospectors tool. ... TJ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 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. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yes, we had those in our coal furnace in the 50's. The 3 of them mesh together. Edit to add: Here's a link I found. http://www.woodmanspartsplus.com/4865/Stove-Grates-Triplex.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
