Liberated these (Anyone guess what they are originally from!) from a pile of junk, thinking they might have potential as external storage racks for the YJ.
It wasn't till i got them home and positioned them i realized just how right i was. I'd say they are a perfect size! Just have to clean them up, make mounts and paint them.
The bottom one will mount to the receiver hitch, and ideally i'm going to figure out a way to make the mounting arm swing down and double as free standing table when camping.

Shelves from a commercial oven ?
Part of a coal fired boiler ?
Obviously with the handles they are designed to be pulled out and have lots of holes in - some larger than others . . . . .

They look like they used to be "Griddle Trays" or maybe oven trays?
Always good to reuse stuff, especially as it saves you brass!.

Haven't a clue what these are supposed to be but would love to find out because the Aircraft Museum down in Washington has stacks of them which they supply to car clubs who take their meetings there. In that case they're used as barbecue grilles by being tacked over half of a large fuel drum and if their purpose is anything to do with sewage, thank goodness I don't eat that sort of muck!

Sieves from concrete crusher or gravel "grading" machine perhaps? They remind me a little of sieves from a combine - though have much larger holes!
