The third object is from a baby doll the reed that makes the sound similar
to MAMA. It works like a harmonica. The last three look like mower or
reaper sections (check out the Sears 1897 catalog).

Subject: Mystery Objects
Hello everyone-
I need some help identifying these three mystery objects. The context is a
19th/20th c. site in Western Maryland with a grist mill, saw mill, and
several house foundations.
Photos can be found here:

Object #1 is an iron alloy object and is approximately 12 cm long (see first
2 photos). It was retrieved from a context with lots of nails and other
miscellaneous hardware.
Object #2 is a lead alloy object measuring 4.06 x 1.72 x 0.28 cm. It has two
rivets and is crudely made (probably not an ornamental piece such as a
buckle). Might be something electrical-related?
Object #3 is an iron alloy object that measures approximately 1 m in length
and has 12 "teeth". The teeth are welded onto the bar, not riveted,
suggesting a function that wouldn't place too much stress on them (not a
saw).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
