OK, we have a mystery object that erupted from the ground in our barnyard--any detectives out there recognize what this might be from?
House and barn date from 1880s, in Iowa. This object emerged from the dirt near the barn, but we've also found household objects in this particular area, including a clawfoot bathtub. So while "part from agricultural implement" is a leading assumption, it's also possible it's a household item. There seems to be a decorative pattern embossed on the front, but it's too worn to make out clearly.
So, anyone know what this is / what it's from?
