In the first picture, toward the upper left, looks like a mouthpiece for a brass musical instrument, like a trumpet, cornet or trombone. Some kid must have hated taking music lessons so he threw the mouthpiece away.

I am like you in regards I hate to throw anything away. If I dig it, and I can tell what it is, it usually finds a home somewhere around here. It all tells a story, the first one usually being 'how did it get here?' HH

Johnnnn... You might try this: I used to do lapidary and I used a rock tumbler. I placed all the rusty nuts and bolts and hardware that I came across in the tumbler and loaded it half up with clean sand and water and let it tumble for a day or two. Everything came out bright and shiny. The good stuff I dried out and dipped in oil and put them in the fastener drawer. The brass odds and ends I put in my "materials" box. Everynow and then I pull something out and it becomes part of something else. With e-bay and craigs list I suspect a box of shiny brass junk will fetch a high price. I once sold an box of old keys for $15.00. under the title "keys to Nowhere". and they weren't shiny. gambol

Hi Gambol1,
I will do something with this stuff and cleaning it up is going to happen, I have my Granddaughters "tumbler" here and I have used it to bring back coins for circulation, its small but does a great job.

The "mouth piece" is one of 3 they are Bugler's from the 1860's Canadian militia.

Great stuff,
I wouldn't advocate throwing any thing away, as I am some what of a hoarder myself, I sure you know that all that brass and copper odds and ends has a price. a very good price these days. good luck
