Found a few items today. A couple I'm looking to ID, the button with the lady's face, the brass thing with small chain and the other larger brass item. Thanks.

Nice finds. They are something different to add to your collection of finds.....Matt

Very sweet button!

Nice digs! I have seen that button displayed somewhere... I want to say it was part of a suffragette collection.. or maybe a temperance movement display?? It caught my eye when I saw it but for the life of me I can not remember where it was!!!! The attribution may not have been correct but I hope that helps..

The large brass item looks to me to be the end of a fireplace utensil, such as a poker or shovel. Nice finds! The chain thing could be a candle snuffer...

My guess on the large brass item would be a finial off of a lamp, is it threaded on the flatter end?

It is CERTAINLY a finial--but probably one off a brass bed.

It is nice that you got two dropped enfield bullets. What is the smaller bullet below them? Colt .44 cal?
