Cant figure out what this is

[Dudder33]

It's only 2 inches wide and seems to be made out of different metals including brass.

Nice find, Dudder,

Welcome to this place. It looks kinda bucklish to me, but I wonder about the flip side...

 

[BosnMate]

I'm thinking maybe something like the lid to a snuff container

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

how large is the object?

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

What's the back like, it looks like a Belt cover, or Clasp.

[HutSiteDigger]

I don;t know truly what it is the one i have... I was thinking balo tie or something.. the 2nd one under it is a printing plate.

At first glance, I thought it was a snake. Then, a goose. Now, a swan...

Where's Leda, when you need her?

I wonder if it could be part of an old tin ceiling tile like a corner piece and yes I do realize it is tiny that's why I say a piece not a whole tile.

Judging by the size and only seeing the front, I think it could be the lid to a vintage rouge make-up container. Generally a Victorian vanity set had glass containers with a metal lid. The more expensive ones had sterling silver lids. The loose face powder containers were larger and rouge containers was smaller. Interesting find Breezie

Sorry about the late response. This is a pic of the back. Thank you all for the replies.

 

[Dudder33]

Dang. I put it next to a ruler and part of the pic was cut off. It's about 2X2 inches

I found it at a cabin built in 1835. The cabin was still standing until about 5 years ago and it fell in. This was about 6 inches in the ground. The place has never been detected (to the owners knowledge), but I need to remove all of the debris from the cabin falling and all of the junk that's been piled all around it before I can find much more. I'm hoping to find some good coins. My great uncle is the owner and lived in the cabin when he was a kid (1950's). He still has the census papers showing when it was built and some old pics of when he lived in it.
