Dug it today.

[Trescher]

Not sure what it is, I found it bent over in half. The metal is soft. The length is about 1 1/4 inches.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

Depending on it's thickness, it may be a book marker.

Hair Clip

 

[Gypsy Heart]

Is there any attachment or sign of an attachment on the backside?
I would say hair clip also right now.

Side plate from a man's dress penknife......or a hair clasp, depending on what the other side looks like? Monty

 

[RON (PA)]

I would also say that it is a hair clip. Pics of the other side might help.

 

[Trescher]

It is probably paper clip thin, meaning with a little pressure you can fold it in half.
There are no signs of it being attached to anything prior to being lost.

The dime will give you some scale. I'm thinking bookmarker, but I have never seen a metal bookmarker before. I think that it is too small to be worn in the hair.

with it being bent in half when you found it... maybe it was a crude, or home made childs ring or some such thing? It look arts & craftsy.

I dunno...

 

[DANGLANGLEY]

Yeah it might be an aluminum ring. I've found quite a few that had been stepped on and mashed flat. Good find!!!

 

[stefen]

Its a stretch but could this have been a foil wrapper for a cigar or yarn or whatever...and have been straightened out?

 

[Ed-NH]

It looks like a childs ring to me, just a guess.

 

[Monty]

Well, if we don't figure this one out, I still like the Roi-tan Cigar key Fob. Monty

I didn't mean to double post the pocket watch fob, but it was in the same photo as the bookmarker/ring/hair clip. The Chevy fob is my favorite find so far and my oldest at 68 years.

Maybe a flattened ear cuff?

 

[redstarr]

I think she's right. I have an ear cuff almost exactly like that.

 

[FISHEYE]

maybe its a poor mans paper money clip.
