Matt, Sorry, I didn't see your other 2 questions. No, there is nothing written on the funnel or any other part of it. I'm located in upstate, NY.

Matt,
"the long metal part, at the bottom of the pitcher" that you referred to, isn't actually metal, it's wood. If we're talking about the same part. The part that i'm referring to, is the part that is pointing straight down in the pictures. And you can see that it's a different color than the galvanized metal parts. If that is the part in question, its made of wood and to me, it seems like its a handle of sorts. And there aren't any holes in it to fasten it.

Hello and thank you all for your input. It seems that the consensus is that it is a old washing machine part. I did a google search for antique/vintage washing machines and saw images of 100's of antique washers most were made of wood and some were made of copper. But I saw nothing resembling the piece in question. Also, I'll answer some of the questions that were asked:
does the wooden handle get staked into the ground? NO, there's evidence of that. The metal is all galvanized
where did you get it.
Knowing from where or how you acquired it may give us a clue? I got with in a lot of unrelated stuff.
Here's some additional information. The metal parts are galvanized. I don't see were it could have been fastened or attached to something else.
IF anyone can show any photos of this item or a similar looking item as part of a washing machine that would be helpful.
Thank you again and please keep the comments coming.

Antique Questions Forum / copper tray with intricate design?
« on: January 22, 2012, 12:19:39 am »
hello all, I was wondering if anyone can provide any information regarding this copper tray. It's 13" in diameter and it has a very intricate design on the front side of the tray. The design is copper and silver in color and it looks and feels like it is a machined surface. The back side is plain copper. Any information on this item will be much appreciated. thank you

Hello all, I'm hoping the someone out there can help me identify what this item is. I've had it for many years and have never been able to identify what it is. The end piece that looks like a funnel, doesn't have any drain holes on the inside, so it isn't a funnel. Any help at all will be appreciated. thank you
