Mine was priced better, 
You have seen this one, I don't know if it has been posted here yet.
This 101 Standard gauge was found in a trash pile, box and all.
Once a year we have trash pickup, you can throw a pile out and the town picks it up.
Someone passed on and they threw it out?
I did not find any more trains in that pile? ( I can't remember.)
That was it I believe. With the box.

I sent a friend here to join up as he is into Prewar trains and told him to check the site out.
He messaged me this reply,
"The site is dead. The last update was in 2021 and the discussion board was ended and unplugged."
Dead?

The other larger dishes, ones a medicine bottle cap and the other is a toilets pop on plastic cover for the nut.
The probes are from the little plastic table that you get with some pizza deliveries. It holds the cover off the pizza. I glued the cap and nut cover on to them.
In these pictures they are just sitting there, I mounted them elsewhere.

The three little dishes on the bottom are drawer buttons mounted on chicken throw away pop up timers that I saved. I think they have some nice dish detail?

I have a bunch of Bethlehem Steel items on my table, they are painted Yellow and black.
I made it a tower with different things on it, I don't know if the antennas will stay.

Your good Terry. 
Has a Bavarian stamp underneath on the bottom.
I think it is a Bing, Gauge 1 signal tower.
Bing made different types of these from the early 1900's to around the early 30's as best as I can figure out.
After looking at different but similar signal towers, I came to the conclusion that this mine is from 1915.

Won this off eBay, listed for $9.99 I watched it. No one bid, relisted at 99 cents, I put a whopping bid of $1.66 in.
I won it. I can't see why no one else bid, lol.
Tin plate experts......do you know what it is?
I stuck it in the back, 16" high.
