Buckle Up!

[Lost Signal]

Got out for a short hunt yesterday, with awdw and mbcuce. Each of us found a few interesting relics. My best is the buckle. If it's a spectacle buckle, it's my first.

I'm very curious about the hollow brass piece. The walls are pretty thick. It's heavy. I don't know if it's a furniture foot, or something else. Sword pommel?

And the crumpled perforated scrap is curious.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for looking.

Thanks thursdaythunder and Harrison!

Both answers seem plausible. The wagon stopper is something that I did not even know of. My piece does have about the right size and proportions for that.

When you see the object in person, it looks like the something broke off of or wallowed out the end with the smaller hole, so I'm not sure what that means.

Bottom line... it will be hard to say for sure, but it's interesting to speculate.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Very interesting. I have a matching buckle to the spectacle that I found last winter and don’t know if I ever showed you Lost Signal.
