I found this about a year ago and posted it on treasurenet and decided to have it restored. Here's the before and after. Incredible work. It took about 8 months.

A amazing piece of history saved, great find ! Great restoration and what a story to be told. Thanks for sharing.
 
Did slaves wear these like dog tags? On collars?

Well worth the investment for such a improvement. May I ask who did the restoration? I'm guessing it was Leonard Short. Epic find!

That is quite a find and restoration ...is there anyway to trace the history with that? A sad part of our history and not uncommon with the rest of the world at that time.
