Default Two Finds

I found a lot of things in one section of the yard. Most are self explanatory except these two. The brass (?) thing reminds me of a sailboat fitting.

The piece on the left is 1 3/4" long. There is a hole in the flat part that sticks out to the right. There is what appears to be a pulley as part of the section at the bottom.

The piece on the right is 3 3/4" by 3".

I should have included that information to begin with.

Default Items

I think both are nautical items. The one on the left appears to be an anchor for sail ropes and the one on the right appears to be an old oar lock.

Hey all.....

I went across the street to an empty lot and found this...

I think its an oar ring, but not sure

the pic on the left shows 4 rivets, pic on right is showing a plate and small bar protrouding the top is ball shape and its about 5" overall in height

I think it has some writing on it, but because of the rust cant read it...

its not iron.... not sure.. will have to clean it up more...

thanks
JT

I have added the information that should have been included with the two pictures to begin with. Sorry, I wasn't thinking.
