Brass thing?

[dirt diva]

Finally got permission to hunt a three hundred year old plantation house.
Too late!!Picked clean Not even a new coin or toy car.Nothing but some iron.Moved to field next to house.More junk!But had a great day just being out there .I use the glass and pottery to make stepping stones for the walkways,if you are wondering why I keep it. This brass piece I thought might be a curry comb?Did have teeth all the way across at one time,very heavy.Just one of those (What's it).It rained all night so I am headed out to walk some of the recently plowed fields.Thanks

DirtDiva,

Thank you.


Cheese - I was just trying to do the same - I love when people find stuff, and then we try to figure them out - it's fun! (of course, there still is that one item (counter of some kind? Insert to a glucose meter? - That thing) that is STILL driving me insane!!

Just throw in two cents here... I think your brass thing is just a comb, not a lice comb but just a comb. The teeth are two far apart for a lice comb. I wonder how they made such a comb so nice, was it cast? I think Cheese got it 100% correct with his determination, its a hair straighting comb!

Yeah, I've studied that "counter thing" you mentioned for quite some time. Lots of good suggestions there, but I have no clue about it. That's one of those things that you just want to know what it is for some unreasonable reason. Just to know I guess. It is fun to ID something for someone though. Usually when I know what it is, someone has already beat me to it, lol!

DirtDiva as a devoted deer hunter myself I have to ask, will you marry me? Ooops! hold it a minute, I'm already married. Well darn, but that's a beautiful buck anyway. I envy you and wish more of the fair gender would like to deer hunt. It's such an exciting and challenging sport. But it's not just the kill is it? It's the getting up early, getting dressed and usually eating a hardy breakfast and then getting on the stand and watch the beautiful sunrise. Only at sunrise do you really experience nature at its best including all the creatures of the woods who begin to stir. And it's the smells and sounds that go with it to make every day a new adventure. Wow, that's living. Monty

I agree,It sure is more than just looking for antlers!Everyone should have sometime alone outdoors.Enjoying a hobby whatever it might be.A time to get away from everyday stuff!I hunted 108 times last season,didn't shoot,but I video very hunt.Have wonderful pics.of all wildlife.I am also married to a wonderful man,who understands that I will be out there,fishing,hunting,or detecting every chance I get. No days wasted at a shopping mall for this girl!

I have found 2 of these brass bodied combs they were both curved style * (at known to me civil war campsite areas) one had some teeth missing and both the iron handled center that was cast into the brass part and outer wooden handle had rotted away --only the brass part was left -- today however I hit upon one that was in a spot were the 4th mass calvary was camping at in Jacksonville , Fl during the civil war *--(new spot I hit) found a brass "4" --the center part of a flatted out union "bulleye" canteen and the comb -- it has upon it wording that reads ---"---inl medicine co" -- so I think it might be a lice comb --heat it up and run it thru the hair to kill off the lice --or as part of a "horses mane / tail comb kit "--medicine co . --- as in vet type medical gear-- the one I found today had its iron center handle part still intact --it had a loop on the end where it could be 'hung' from --and appears to have had a wooden outer handle which sadly had rotted away--
