Cherokee Indian reservation whatzit??

[GatorBoy]

There looks to be faded artwork on this... Clearly though I see the words Cherokee Indian reservation N.C. on the side.
Found with turn of the 20th century items..site has newer things on top but this was fairly deep.

pipe stem?

 

[bigfoot1]

actaully possible that it is complete tobacco pipe....google it...tobacco was a very valuable commodity in the region it was found.sample pipes were used to determine quality.looks like one of those to me

good luck

 

[GatorBoy]

You guys are "CRACKing" me up

 

[GatorBoy]

OK OK... That was funny...but I would really like to know what it is.

 

[mreese1849]

Can you tell what it is made of?

 

[GatorBoy]

Yeah... Thin brass with a coating of some kind on the middle exterior..with some faded designs like painting under it.

 

[GatorBoy]

What I think is the top looks like it used to have a cover that was made of a "gold" foil















Bad photos I know

 

[mreese1849]

That is pretty cool... hope someone can identify it for you.

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks.. Seems like whatever image is on it is slowly becoming more visible as it starts to completely dry out

 

[mreese1849]

Maybe part of a musical instrument?

 

[GatorBoy]

That would be neat

Maybe part of a musical instrument?
