Found these at a small, early 1900's mill house. The badge is made of stamped tin or brass,,, all that's left is DLER.
The other piece looks like a brass 1/2 inch collet of sorts. Whatever it is, it would only fit one way as one of the teeth is cut special.
GA1dad that item in question is part of an old parasol or umbrella , the larger opening in the middle fastens to the shaft and the canopy ribs are splayed around and fastened to where the small notches are. here are a couple of pictures to help see what i mean .

Arrowed piece is the top from an old parasol/umbrella, where the fabric would attach to the top of the handle. Not sure on the badge...need to play Wheel of Fortune on the word...Can I by another vowel please? Nice early finds though.

I found a wire wheel hub cap from one in my backyard this week.

You guys are good,,, thanks for the ID!
OMG David!! That is unreal!! I saw your thread about the Chandler automobile and what struck me was that I had never heard of one before. Now a week later I find a piece off of one,,, that's crazy!!! Thanks for reaching out!!
Thanks again David,, looks like it may be half of a radiator badge.

I really can't take credit for the I.D.
If not for this bizarre coincidence of finding the hub cap, I would never have been able to I.D. the piece of the radiator plate. Like GA1dad said, "crazy!"
Yes you can and you should ! Timing is everything as they say!Quote:
