EARLY 1700'S FARM MARYLAND

FOUND THESE ITEMS AT A FARM THAT DATES EARLY 1700'S. THE ONE ITEM LOOKS LIKE GUN OR PISTOL END BUT VERY SMALL OPENING. NICE SCALLOPS ON IT LOOKS LIKE GOLD INLAY AND REDDISH COLOR, ALSO PAW PRINT TYPE W ON TOP. ALSO FOUND NICE OLD BUTTON, BELL, 2 ROUND BALLS, AND CURTON TIE BACK. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT GUN BARREL COULD BE?

Could it be a pipe stem?

 

[cmthunder]

ITS POSSIBLE BUT WHY WOULD IT HAVE SITE ON TOP AND END UNLESS ITS JUST TO LOOK LIKE A PISTOL OR GUN BARREL

It does have the look of a large (and very early) pipe stem, but the outer diameter appears to be too large from the pics so I can't say for sure.

LOVE THE BELL

If its a lead-alloy, its part of a toy gun, I normally find the butt ends.

Hello again Crusader, I believe it is lead alloy, pretty inticate detail for toy but it seems too small to actually fire anything and no black residue from powder or smoke if pipe.

The toys I have, do have loads of detail, some of these early toys fired with real black powder, just for fun (no projectiles)

The toy gun is pretty neat wish I could find the rest of the gun. Thanks for picture Crusader.

Keep looking you probably will, the hardest bit to find is what you have. Nearly all of mine are butt ends with no barrel.

Nice finds! love the bell

 

[cmthunder]

yeah and it still had ball inside

Those toy guns used caps that make a nice pop when the hammer hit it.
