List,



Attached are a few shots of a piece of hardware that I seem to have had forever. Every decade or so, I rediscover it and wonder where it came from, think about taking a picture, but then forgetting about it.



My best guess is that it was a component of the coal furnace in our home in Flatbush, Brooklyn and just left behind when the switch was made to oil in the late 1940’s. Or did this piece of hardware also serve a purpose on an oil furnace?

I do have memories of my Dad stoking the fire when I was very young, putting out the ashes for pickup, also the delivery of the coal to the bin in the back of our basement.



In the first shot, we seem to have a mounting bracket on the right, and a shaft on the left powered by the electric motor.



Maybe some others can chime in on what the DL&W did with coal other than burn it and transport it.
