2 mystery items that need ID

[BavariaJeff]

I found 2 items in need of ID. The first on is made of aluminum with an enameled label on both sides which says "Ballantine's Masters" I googled Ballantine's Masters and it appears to be some kind of whisky or scotch. This item is 4 inches long. Perhaps it is an advertising piece. Maybe from the 1950s to 1970s?

The second item is made of brass and was found in the same hole as the Chinese coin pictured with it. At first I thought it was a small pocket knife but it is solid cast brass and looks old. It is also pretty heavy.

If anyone can ID these items that would be great

One item is a handle... other is Chinese coin.

Any chance it is one of these sinkers.

Although it resembles a sinker it is made out brass not lead

Well I think I can ID the Chinese coin.. The writing is in traditional form looks like the characters 嘉庆 I'm guessing the whole coin says "嘉庆通宝" 嘉庆 （jiaqing） was the seventh qing emperor who reigned from 1796-1820. Your coin could have been made during that time. However reproductions have been made of that coin so you would have to get it tested etc.

Probably decorations, possibly the brass part is the handle off a vintage Chinese sewing baskets that were popular over 70 years ago.
