A bunch of things from past hunts

diggingthe1 · Apr 6, 2016

Would love any help with any of these for my past hunts. Thanks Hopefully the silver buckle is military! I believe their is a candlestick holder that is the round ring piece. It is smooth from use! The small trinket has glass or plastic inside and the oval is smooth from use also. I would love any ID. Maybe the dragon is a beer mug handle? Maybe the hinged piece is a early eyeglass piece. Thanks for any info. Happy Hunting!

Top left could be an old pipe hanger. Top right looks like a candle holder handle.
Griffin thing looks to be from an old gas lamp fixture.

Thanks for the IDs! I have two old pipes that just slid through. Maybe they were covered. I wish I had the rest of the lamp!

The small trinket thing sure looks like a wax seal for letters.

Cool digs! I agree with the above ID's.

The dragon thing is likely a pitcher handle - apparently a popular theme in the late 19th C.

Do a Google images search on Victorian dragon pitcher (or ewer). You'll see many examples. I didn't see one exactly like yours but you'll get the idea...

The slingshot looking thing is an oar lock for a row boat.

The pointy object top center in the 2nd pic could be the remains of a medicine spoon.

Mike might be right on this. That looks just like a wax seal! It might have had a piece of glass on it, with the image in the glass.

Its a funny object with glass or plastic on the inside. The bottom piece may be bent but is worn smooth. I will have to google some other examples! Thanks for the id's!
