The 1st one is a "shut-off" valve for, I think, a 1 1/2" pipe  ..... which someone cut the hole in the side of.

No idea on the 2nd one.

The 3rd one is an old style kerosene lantern which, if cleaned up would probably still work, if all burner parts intact.

The lantern is beautiful -- but yes, it would be helpful to know what the stamp on there says.  It's not readable in your photo.

To my eye , Wulfe , the first item appears to be a broken "gate" valve (perhaps from freezing) , the second item appears to be a spoked wheel hub , with an exterior 'ball & spring' oiling/greasing port .

Nice little lantern , perhaps for hanging overhead with chain(s) .

fancypants....a wheel hub...it was driving me bonkers (more than usual).  I knew I had seen one somewhere before. 

Glad to see you on the forum!
