Everytime I look at you posts it makes me sad that I could never find anything like that here in New York. You're a lucky guy!

Everytime I look at a post from New York it makes me sad that we can never find stuff that old in California

Cru do you think that was silver plated at one time? It looks like there are faint traces of silver in the pits and crevices....would add a little bling factor if it was for a necklace.

No pretty sure its just bronze. Bear in mind new bronze with no patina looks gold

Good point. You are going to polish it back to it's original golden lustre then right?

Roman's did have one's for ear wax but they have a little scoop on the end, like a mini spoon.
