I found this brass piece...Says GEO. AlMETER at the top and PHONE 1415
at the bottom...So what part of a phone is this or age or what was it attached to!!! Any ideas??? I was just wondering...Found a neat little old well house out in the middle of nowhere...the outskirts of town...was a shocker when I ventured into the wooded area!!! Found a leg off of an old bath tub...has what looks like an eagles claw for the leg and this brass object is all I found...will have to venture back with a little more time...think this area was back before the 50's and an old farm use to be in this area...everything has changed so much from pics my dad showed me...There was an old well there in front of the building and we covered it back up...it was wide open where someone took the top off of it...not to safe.... Well looks to be old...bricked all the way down...kind of a neat find in it's self!!!

Thanks for any help...just wondering about the piece and sorry for the poor pic...still working on getting a new camera!!!

Well I will be back after new years...Hope you all have a great new years eve and new year and don't drink to much!!! If yon's do drink have one for me...this one's going sober!!!! lol!!! Got digging on my mind!!!

Have a good time Pat and hope you find the mother load!

Your brass piece looks like an over flow cap from an old bath tub

[RingDancer]

Thanks Greg!!! Hope I hit something!!! Anything!!!
Ya know that's what my dad said...Sure found a leg to an old tub...possiblility....I took my dad back up to the place where the little house was and showed him...and he said that was probably from the old farm houses that he showed me a pic of...looks like someone was staying in this little shack...maybe a homeless person was camping. My dad took the pics for me of the little shack!!!

Why does it have phone 1415 on it????????

Nice pictures Pat,Whatcha doin hidin in the bushes for ? lol

[PAPPY]

PAT, I believe that Greg is correct in that it is a Overflow cap. The name and the telephone number would relate to the dealer that sold the item...PAPPY

[RingDancer]

Thanks Pappy! with such a short telephone number what year does that put this thingy!!!

Hey Rip ya spotted me!!! I was hiding cause I looked like death!!! lol!!! Dragging threw all those vines!!! My dad said get out here where he could see me!!! I said NO!!!! He just laughed!!! Funny thing is...My cousin was passing by...there is a main road on the other side of this building...I was trying to stay camoed but he spotted me!!! He was wondering what in the heck I was doing out there in the bushes!!! lol!!!! Never in a million years had I ever thought this building was standing there!!! Neat find like I said in it's self!!! Love old finds!!!! Wish I would have taken a pic looking down the well!!!! I don't see many of these!!!

Happy New Year's to ya and to all!!!

Things sure do change fast, don't they!!! I will try and get a photo and post of what this area looked like 50 years ago!!! I am just amazed....Roads then that are not here now and there was no trees... just pasture, and farm houses....Now just buildings going up everywhere!!!! New roads and interstates and lots of noise!!!
