    Solved small silver thing, token, and a bent tool and What?

    A small silver egg cup like thing, and a small token that says, Lone Star on it. I would appreciate any thoughts on what something might be and how old it might be. Thanks! Cindy

    I don't think your Lonestar item is a token. It looks like more like an end cap off something.

    I think C is for bared wire.You would put something to hold the roll of wire in the rings on the ends to unroll it.

    "E" looks like a sediment bowl on an old carburator fuel line filter.

    I think
    " E " is a screw-in - wheel-bearing dust cap, as used on
    older cars and was used on some Model-A Fords.

    " H " is about the size of the caps used on top or
    bottom of the king-pins on cars and trucks using
    a straight axle front end, to retain grease and to keep
    dirt and water out.

    All good guesses but its a Model T radiator cap. http://www.antiquemystique.com/pages/6604_jpg.htm
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    I agree. I can see how someone might guess slot machine token but it looks too flimsy. Is it aluminum?

    The Lone Star item is a button face off of an overall button, circa 1900-1908.

    Thanks Everyone for your feedback so far! bigcypress looks like you did it again that photo link again was amazing! I love photo answers! I called the round thing a token for lack of other things to call it, and yes it is flimsy, it was burried under a tree stump at an old homestead site in east Texas.

    Yea, you pretty much need to see a matching pic before you can call it solved.

    I think J may be a canning jar lid but I think you knew that. Can we see the glass insert? http://www.etsy.com/listing/82959119...on-canning-jar

    I think I see a tiny fired cap from a muzzleloader.

    bigcypress, I am pretty sure if you can't find it, it doesn't exist! You seem to be the king of photo matching!
