Demo shed, what are these things?

I just demo弾d a shed that was used to house my filter and pump to make room for a heat pump which I知 told cant be enclosed in a shed. I知
also redoing the electrical panel that is in the shed. The shed was old and had tons of termite and rotten wood. So instead if a shed, that area of pool equipment will be open air.

During the demo, there are two things. Can I safely remove these as well since I知 redoing the panel box? I think one looks like a ground bar and not sure what the other thing is.

Why did you have to say "antique". That makes me feel old.
At least he didnt say "Vintage". ​​​​​​​

Low voltage terminal block and old phone jack. No issue removing if not in use.

It looks like the phone jack was fed from that connection block.
If you no longer need the phone/line.... remove it.

I have the same type splice boxes I fabricated years ago.
Now with wireless they're pretty much no longer needed.

Hey, I'm 67 so that affects me also.

By the way, anyone still have a landline in their house? I have not had one in years.
I love watching youtube videos where they have young kids looking at things like rotary telephones etc and trying to figure out how to use them. That's when you really feel old. I saw one kid look at a really thick phone book and had no clue what it was.

If nothing is connected to the wires on the right side of the picture, just remove it all. The telephone jack is probably wanted by collectors. Take a look at this forum; Classic Rotary Phones Forum - Index :-)
