...If you want to see actual windmill grain grinder gears (inserted tooth wood), sit thru the 1940 movie with a young Joel McRae about spies Foreign Correspondent
You can stick "stobs" in the holes and have a rude/crude semblance of a set of bevel gears - but the pinion version is missing from this photo. More probably water wheel parts as suggested

Definitely agree that these seem like mill gears, as for a grist mill. The work of an original millwright!
John Oder's response brings up a nomenclature question related to the use of "stob" gears
In watermill technology there is a sort of "pinion" made of two wooden disks with wooden "tooth" bars between the disks, the whole thing looking somewhat like a birdcage or lantern. Is it correct to call this a Lantern Gear when it is watermill-sized?
I know it might be called a "Lantern Gear" if it was in a clock.....

There are some teeth and other parts that I need to photo.
