Father's Cache

I happened upon my Father's Cache today.? He isn't dead, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything hidden! I am going to load some pics. of what I found, and then return them.? I just want to know what you fellow hunters think.? Most of these I can't identify, so if you could help on that, great! The pocket knife casing and chain seem to be made of gold.? The fancy looking 'butter' knife seems to be made of bone/pearl?? Anyways, here goes.

I think that the poket knife is a watch fob. Cladius.

Mother of pearl is that white cover on knifes to dress them up on the handle I'm sure you seen that. A watch fob is the thing that hooks up to a pocket watch and use to go from their watch pocket, that nice it would of been for dress up and usually dangled from a suits vest pocket.

Re: Father's Cache

I don't know... I'm just "suggesting" it to be a scalpel because,
1) I'm from Florida and I KNOW how sharp shells can get just by waves/sand wearing them down over time *it sucks to step on a sharp one!* and
2) I would think that if your gonna use any type of material for a scalpel, probably being a very primative instrument for that time, shell would be the *best* because of it's ability to hold a razor-like edge. Though I'm sure it would have to be taken very good care of considering the fragility of shell material. You should see how old it is... because it looks like it could possibly be from the 1800's era. *guessing?*
