A brush handle? And a small emblem.

[WHADIFIND]

I'm thinking the first one is part of a brush handle. Shaving? Painting? Broom? Seems pretty old/fragile. I suspect brass, copper, tin. There is a bit of fibrous material showing. Just not sure.

The other piece appears to have fallen out of something like a badge of some sort. Md emblem if I'm not mistaken.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

HH!

The "small emblem" shows the design of the Maryland state flag (taken from the State Seal). Maryland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yep, that's what I referred to as a Md emblem.

Thanks.

The 1st item does look like an old ferrule. Breezie

Hi Breezie!

Yeah, I think it is a remnant of a brush of some sort.

The emblem? The colors appear to be porcelain set in a brass casing. Almost like a stained glass window, only the back is solid. Seems old to me.
It might have broken off a badge of some sort.

Thanks!

I think your shield may be cloisonne since it is made up of small glass cells, and the back is solid. If the back were open, it would be Plique-a-jour. Plique-a-jour is enameling like cloisonne except the back is open to allow light to past through, which is like a mini stain glass window.

Neat find Breezie
