Heres the picture. Found it near an old Brick Yard. Any Ideas?

Is it made of cast iron? It looks as if it is a decorative piece off an old cast iron stove. We found a complete stove in a crawl space under an old house. It had some similiar decorative scroll work pieces. That is my guess anyway!

It Dosent have the feel of cast iron, i may need to clean it up to be able to tell fully though.

Boot scraper maybe? It could also explain why it was in a brickyard.

Well Thats an interesting idea but i dont believe thats what it is....... looks to rounded. Oh and in reply to Digdug on further inspection it is deffinetly cast iron.

I'm still sticking with the cast iron stove/heater story! But, who knows how it got to a Brickyard. Unless it came from an office that was there at one time. The coal heater we found in the crawlspace was moved down there because the house eventually had gas lines ran into it and used gas space heaters. We restored our coal heater and use it as an end table.

I like the stove theory, or maybe from a furnace, or even a piece from a decorative security fence of cast iron--near the gate?

Speaking of coal there were lumps of coal ALL over the place. I could have had a nice coal heater going for days!
