Are those bowling balls behind it? If so that is pretty big. I almost said what it was but my brain burped and I cannot remember. It appears to be a gear shaft from some kinds of equipment. Maybe well or irrigation equipment. Cool in that spot for sure....love the blue bottle hanging there also.

Looks like a outside faucet for the well water, but is missing the handle. Simular to this one but older

Another rusty treasure...That's pretty cool. I was thinking the same thing... lookes like some kind of pump.

cool thing. Don't know what it is either but it looks great in your garden(-:

It might be a gas meter hook up like you see by your house. The large meter would be bolted on to the top part and it looks like the locking shutoff is in the middle.

It looks to me like the down tube from a seed drill for planting crops.

Looks to me like a Super Find no matter WHAT it really is.
