My Find Of A Lifetime

[21stTNCav]

I concur BCH, I don't understand. I don't have a slave, and I am pretty set that it's a sin to do so. Regardless, let me find that darn slave tag. I would do the chicken dance and then some. I don't think anyone condones slavery. What does that have to do with a historical artifact from 1815 associated slavery? Again BCH, like you I don't understand the post.

i have several books with everything you can imagine in them and as much as i hate to say this and dont get me wrong its a beautiful piece but its very possible it is a slave tag

Its also very possible that you didnt read the first post where we were told it is indeed a slave tag.

BTW Welcome to Treasurenet trey.
