Brian,
Not F-86 for sure: NAA PNs (of which these would be, being airframe parts) would begin with a 3-digit such as 151-. or 170- etc.
The part numbers and stamps on the F-86 tail part confirming it as F-86H
On the back of the two panels I have found printed on one 574 and stamped on the other 585 which I suspect are the aircraft serial numbers.
The only stamps are the part numbers and three types of inspection stamp.
1. SW over 5 ; SW over 6
2. a number in a double circle e.g. 68
3. The 3T in an oval shown in the image above.
Nothing definitive.
But 574 and 585 were the numbers of F-84B’s and this is an image of the wing fillets of an 84C
Thank you for the help sir.
It is definitely a large lump of aircraft.
Thank you Sabrejet.
So with the canopy being Scimitar and two of these three not being F-86 my batting average is low (such are the perils of acquiring unknown parts).
Thanks for all your help.

Dont shoot the messenger – However I agree that I should have added a ? at the end. Looked more like the bottom of a hospital trolley to me..
This one is slightly more honest and is identified based upon the one that I had last year:

i discovered since that chairs with these legs were used on C-47 and not on Catalinas. (The upper seat was used on both.)
The one I had was posted to New York State for the refurbishment of the wireless cabin in C-47 Whiskey 7.
Not sure if you have seen these Tempest tail and wing parts for sale and whether they are of any use to a project:

ex India I believe.
Thank you James.
I wonder whether the hydraulic ground tester (above) had an RPM adjuster.
I have found this reference that has similar numbers. Hebel with gerate numbers 19-5XX are known
Hydraulisches Bodenprüfgerät, Vorläufige Beschreibung und Bedienungsvorschrift, Anford.-Zeichen Fl E 050901, Gerätenummer 19-509 A-1, Inhalt: Allgemeines, Beschreibung, Bedienung, Wartung, Störungen und Behebung. 1940, 40 S.
http://www.luftfahrt-archiv-hafner.de/ausruestung.htm ( 5th from bottom)
The gerate number 19-509 matches with this part although the 6059 does not match the FL number….
Gerry kurust will leave it blue/black.
If you want the natural look – just treat it currently with oil or a thin coat of clear varnish. You just need a thin coat to keep water from re-rusting the surface.
Looks Nice Gerry. Good luck with the clock.
I have the opposite problem at the moment trying to make a piece of steel rusty for a client who wants a reproduction ARP sign. I scarified the metal and repeatedly dipped it in a vinegar/peroxide/salt solution. Then sat it outside for a month.
If you want to return your Do17 part to original you can consider the above.
“Why not give Deox C a try ?” “using warm water with Deox C is best”
It is certainly a well liked product and it does work.
As mentioned above I prefer a peripatetic approach!
I have tried some (but not all) of the potential solutions so I am unable to say what is best.
I would like to try the molasses approach but I don’t have the space or currently any rusty steel.
From my experience of the multiple approaches that I have applied the DeoxC is Ok but the electrolytic is more effective.
The Deox C is an off the shelf approach and as a result is more easily accepted.
So please use what is “best” for you.
Gerry I am using one of these

The clips go direct to the sacrifical anode and the other via an old spare croc clip to the item to be derusted.
