Its a very ornate hand made brass drawer pull, the back part. I would put the age in the late colonial/Revolutionary war period. It's extremely nice. Did you find much else with it?
Welcome to the forum! Anthony - Plazz58, and I were up on Battle Hill, in White Plains, NY, this morning and it was Hot, Wet, and Sticky!! While I'm thinking this is off a piece of furniture, I wasn't sure and asked Anthony to join the forum and post it up. Battle Hill, is the site of the Battle of White Plains, in 1776. I found two Wheats, '44 and '56, and a nickel. My shirt was soaked through in less than an hour, and my glasses were fogged over so bad I had to take them off - One of "those" mornings.
