The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I thought this was cool, some may not but I did. I was north of MOAB last week in a small almost deserted old town. I was told that it was a happening place from late 1800's up until the 50's or so.

I was kicking around in the dirt and look what popped up. I am not saying it is an phonograph crank, but dang it matches really close to one that I have laying around. It was half exposed from the dirt.

Anyway I thought it was cool. (Before someone chimes in, the one I found is on the left... I do not have the best, but no that rusted one did not come off of my machine ;o) )

Looks like an old tricycle pedal to me?

You should have brought a metal detector to find some other relics!

I thought of that, but if it is it has to be the smallest tricycle. The bend is only about an inch. Got me though!

Man I would have loved to!! I could have spend years searching, there was glass and metal at every inch of that town. It would have taken a day just to move a few feet! But I can only imagine the treasures you could uncover.... maybe someday!
