🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Any thgts?

Morning y'all, I dug this last week at a early homesite and can't seem to come up with what it is. If you look close you can see some sort of two handled ( vase, trophy cup?) with flowers at the top. Thgt it was a fancy draw pull at first but the attachment hole is so small thread can barely go through it. For some reason I keep thinking it's got a (mourning feel) to me. Any ideas?

There's no lettering on either side creskol. I was hoping you be involved with it. I've seen you NAIL it over the years!!!

Definitely looks like an image of something there at 6 o'clock. Big button?

Kinda looks like a capitol F on back side bottom. The post with the hole makes me think it was pinned. How about top of a straight cane decoration?

Reminds me of an urn of some sort, perhaps a mourning pin?

Same thgt here but it's heavy and the stud on the back is big.

I'm not seeing any kind of lettering. Cane thing is interesting.

The top to Avery small narrow container? Circa 1915-1949? Maybe it was a part of lipstick, or cigar/cigarette container?

This site is on the 1867 plat map and gone on the 1882 and from anything we've found I'd say they're spot on.

I personally think it is a horse related accoutrement, perhaps an older glass faced or enameled rosette or a blinder accoutrement. I know I have seen that stem type mount before, but I haven't had time to look through my files yet.

The 2nd picture with the possible writing looks like it might be a bell. Does anyone else see that?

My first thought is possibly a cloak button... half of a cloak fastener.
