Hello Wayupnorth66. SkyPilot here.
Does the star in the top pic seem to have any letters between the points?
Looks like either an Eastern Star matron's pin, or some type of Star of David device, but
Regards, SkyPilot

 

[Wayupnorth66]

thanks..no i dont see any leters between the points

 

[Sky Pilot]

We'll keep looking for an answer, Wayupnorth66!!

Regards, SkyPilot

It looks to be some type of old coin; maybe Persia Star of David. What is it made out of, and can you clean it a little more to see perhaps some letters? Unusual find, Breezie

The back of it reminds me of this thing I found - I don't know what it is though:

But it is blank on the other side.

Mmm, I didn't realize WayUpNorth's item was beveled until Bramble posted hers. After seeing that, I think both of them could be 'weights' for scales, etc.

Bramble, what is the figure or letters in the center of yours?

Hi Breezie - I don't see any markings on mine. I'm looking at it in person - are you seeing images in the pic I posted?

It looked like some type of figures in the center, but it might just be rust patterns. Is the hole round or square?

Curtain, sash, or dress weight.

Looks sort of square - here is the view from the other side-

I probably shouldn't take over this thread with my unknown I thinking now the two objects are likely for different purposes.

Breezie.........it appears to be brass ..cleaned it up...but cant find any other markings

 

[Wayupnorth66]

I might add...I dont think the center was a compleate hole through the (whatever) it is. I think i was just an indentation

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Could it be broken from a large rivet?

 

[Wayupnorth66]

good guess...but the bevel is on the bottom side...which doesnt seem right to me...but still...your guess is a very good poss.

How does it weigh? I'm still thinking it's a balancing weight. Breezie

2.1 grams is the weight

DING! Winner. Definitely torn off of the end of a rod like a rivet. Fancy stamp on head also looks like a rivet.
