I love to dig oddball stuff like this

nothing valuable but just the size of it and the ability of it to avoid the plow for over 100+ years.

Like how ornate the mundane used to be also!!

I never get tired of cool "woulda-coulda's" like that.

EVERY piece has a story I'd love to know. But certainly some more than others...

I used to hunt old home sites in fields that were long gone....crazy amount of brass, horse stuff, and furniture pieces.

Very nice! I love the way things were made back when. Beautiful piece. My wife would look on Pinterest and figure out how to repurpose that in to some "artsy" thing.

I can remember from years ago at a great aunt's house a similar door plate. I had so many coats of paint that you could hardly see the patterns in it. Progress(?) marches on, right?

Sweet find for you, education for me: escutcheon plate.

Lots of character. Might find a skeleton key to go with it. What machine did you use??

Thanks Fellas!

Yeah nothing unique just the size and not being harmed for so long in the soil that's been plowed.

I want to say it was a G2+.I didnt think about posting it till I was cleaning up my work bench .and by that time not rightly sure.Could of been T2 classic lol..I dont know!it was one of those.

Sounded broken and forced at same time place was super trashy
