Detecting at the Dump, Again

[oldmxrat]

No coins today, but got a cool old Chrysler badge, a couple of marbles, some buttons, a few interesting bottles and an ornate whatzit.

The whatzit feels like lead and is easily bendable even though it's fairly thick. There are no signs of breakage anywhere, so whatever it is it's whole.
Maybe a spoon rest?

The Chrysler badge is fairly thin and made of brass.

I know the bottles aren't very old, just liked the look of them so I packed 'em out.
Anybody know how to clean that swirly staining off of them?

Got something besides coinage.
Cool badge and here's a discussion on the subject

How do I remove opal coloring from old bottles?

I have quite a few old bottles that have "opal coloring" on the outside. I'm not sure if that is the correct term. It looks sort of like a rainbow effect on the bottle. Are there any ways to remove this?

I’m wondering if the watzit is pewter. Also possibly ornamentation to furniture. Just thinking out loud lol.

The blue bottle could be one of the Milk Of Magnesia bottles.

Ink Well !!! Looks like pot metal. Spoon rest was a good thought...the tray part is the pen rest.

The large one is embossed with "Squib" and the small one "Vicks".
