1923-S Mercury dime and a "what's it?"

I went back to the area where I found the two class rings & gold watch to see what else I can dig out of there ~ didn't do as good today, but still got a few cool items ~ a 1923-S Merc dime, 1952 nickel, three wheat cents, and something I have no idea what it is ~ kinda like a little box with open sides, it's engraved NUOVO, it's not silver, probably nickel? Anyone know what it might be?

Does the merc dime have a double-die rim, or is it a photographic optical illusion?

Nuovo is apparently Italian for "new." There is an Olio Nuovo, which means "New Oil" and is a brand of olive oil. I have no idea if your little box is in any way associated with it, though.

My best guess is an Art Deco scarf clip. Or, scarf holder.


Keep 'em coming!
