Antique bicycle remnants found in woods in island dump

The remnants of a few old bikes... anything identifiable? At least rough eras? Just something I thought the folks around here would be interested in. Nothing even remotely salvageable, so I left them to rest peacefully in the woods. There's one much more complete bike to photograph still.

I'll drop a twenty for that complete crank hanger you can even hacksaw the extra pipe off I just want the entire complete crank set, might have to soak the entire crank case for a few weeks but I bet we can salvage it!

Just goes to show that somebody would want a part no matter what. Back when I was doing auctioneering, I would tell my clients what ever you do, don't throw away anything--somebody will buy it! Living in the country here in Southern Indiana, we have lots of sinkholes. That was where back in time everything that you wanted to get rid of went. I am always looking for old sinkholes to see what I can find that is old and still sellable. You can find some great things there just like the crank hanger above.

Davis Sewing Machine, definitely worth a salvage operation.
