Any idea what this hammered metal looking piece could be? I dug it at an 1800's spot today.
It measures about 1.25" x 1.25".

Thanks,

That is a post-Colonial CB radio microphone clip.

Really though, I have no idea.

Clasp cover on a trunk and later worn and then lost as a shoe tap and recently recovered at a colonial site by a relentless metal dectionist.

you know, I remember seeing angel candleholders once, made out of metal, that had wings a lot like that. Could be a good guess actually.

Come on you crazy nuts. I think I may have you fooled this time. You are all over the board on guesses.
Don't give up,

No idea...

Every time I don't know what something is with a hole in it - it becomes a wind chime dangle.

I still say furniture hardware or horse tack.

Thanks Jim,
I've never been called a "wind chime dangle" before.
Have a good one buddy.

BP,
Perhaps it is a furniture decoration piece that was placed under a drawer knob and a small nail held it in place?
Good guess.

Would a wedge have a decorative hammered finish though?

Kyle just informed me that was Kirk in the picture. It's tough to tell those two dapper fellows apart.
I think I'll save that as my screensaver.
