    Found this yesterday I think it could be a horse bridal decoration maybe medieval? missing a glass or agate stone centre piece its gold gilt and looks enameled its got a flat metal bit on the back which may of clipped onto/behind the leather straps? tip to toe its about 2 1/2 inch's

    Not a hole it does not seem to go all the way through could be "bunged up" though I know what your on about whirly gig toy but the marks on my 2 don't look like whirly gig tooth shaped

    What would the "saw" looking lines be needed for if being used as a weight sewn into hem of curtain?
  7. George111
    Not been out much lately found these two really don't know what they are. Maybe horse harness mounts they are made of lead

    I have to agree it does seem to be very likely Victorian vanity/gentleman's bottle type "flip top" lid and the bit missing may of had a hinge attached like a ink bottle lid it just looks so hand made must of been a very expensive press die seeing its such a complicated looking design

    That area does look the most likely but it just looks like the rest of the patterned areas even though a jewellers eye glass This might be more clearer to show it could of be hand made
  11. George111
    Well going by the "peening" hammer and punch marks used to dish the object I'm not so sure your right

    Leg off of a cooking pot made of copper alloy (brass) could be any where between 14th to 17th century in date

    Rather lovely white metal "silver" object surly this must of been hand crafted by a gold/silver smith? to make a tool to "press" this would of cost the earth Don't know what age it is it has no hallmark hence me saying "white metal" It did have a cork insert but no back plate and loop but could be a button or cape fastener or cufflinks would of been made to have been engraved It the same size as a predecimal 1 penny

    Looks very likely I found a jetton in this case, who/what is on it I will have to do a bit of research Thanks
  19. George111
    Yes its brass I filed the end of the stem stump there is some indented mark but cant tell what it is yet still too much green deposit to see any detail
  20. George111
    The bowl and part of the handle of a large (dessert) spoon made of copper could be anywhere from 13th-16th century in date and going by wear the user was right handed LOL
  21. George111
