Abandoned, deeply pitted/rusted-out cooking surface but higher up the walls has intact thick black coating. Matte and hard but flakey and can crack pieces off with my nail like enamel paint or something. Pics are just after highspeed wire-wheeling the bulk of the decades off (going to resurface entire thing for a user anyways) and the black is very jagged at the edges. Any way this is anything other than the factory coating?

Secondly, it was found in an old shack/workspace with no provenance so in expert experience; is there any way this could have been used for lead if it has this coating still?

Cannot figure out how these 2-part screw clamp things go on the wire guard. They were previously holding the 2 halves of the guard together. Is there a name for these I can look up, or videos on how to position and reinstall them?

These little round, very hard-shelled, slow or unmoving bugs are showing up all over curtains and walls, furniture etc. in a wood interior room as temps heat up. They almost act dead, don't react to being grabbed etc.
