What he said .BuckleBoy said:I don't see these items in mid-1800s sites. From my experience digging, the Jew's Harp went out of fashion in the early 1800s and was replaced by the harmonica.
Great find--and it is awesome that it is complete except for the iron piece in the center.
Best Wishes,
Buckles
