These 3 pieces are at least 100 years old and were salvaged from the deck of the USS California. They are 12" long and 1 3/8" in diameter. All have a .758" core hole.
For you WWII history buffs: The USS California's keel was laid on 25 October 1916. The wood was probably harvested 10 years prior to that. She missed WWI but certainly did not miss WWII. She was sunk at Pearl Harbor, rebuilt and participated in the invasion of the Marianas, Saipan, Guam, Tinean, Leyte and Luzon. She also participated in the invasion of Okinawa and the landing of the 6th Army at Honshu, Japan at the end of the war. She was decommissioned in February of 1947 and sold for scrap in 1959.
Her teak decks where removed and sold, mostly to curators for other WWII
battleships and cruisers that were being converted into museums. However, many pieces ended up on the decks of the "Big Mo" which saw action in Vietnam and Lebanon.
