Found this in a wooded area near where the military used to store explosives during WWII in the U.S. There are 3 of them about 4 feet apart and roughly 15 feet from the road. “1941” and “The Kennedy” markings.
A: I’m a firefighter. I don’t have specialized knowledge as far as codes and regulations go as a fire marshal would, but I’ve received enough training and have enough experience on the subject to chime in. I can say with 100% certainty, if installed properly for it’s intended use, it’s for fire suppression.

#9 that I believe that is a Green Bay Packers blanket, if you’d move that candle thingy, I could get a better look. They are found in the homes of the most intelligent, most beautiful, nicest people on earth.

#2 - that is a ground post indicator which tells you if the buried valve is open or closed. The square nut on top is the Stem where you can use a spanner wrench as is used on a fire hydrant to open and close the underground valve.

And it actually says "The Kennedy Valve Company" if you could read it all the way down - they were a big manufacturer of underground control valves, check valves, fire hydrants, wall post and ground post indicators, etc.

#14 is a safe, upside down. Look at the hinges and the knob on the door.
