Found these today. 1847 Is a bit crusty and was from an 1802 house.
The buckle was from an 1831 house. It looks to me like a shoe buckle but obviously not constructed like a typical 1700s buckle. It is rather thin and appears to be brass as opposed to copper. How long did they make shoe buckles? Perhaps from a child's shoe?
Would love to get some input as to it's age.
Thanks!
