Fur trade Silver Ear bob

[Relicific]

Finally found my first fur trade silver in form of an Ear Bob,also known as the ball and cone earring.
These were the most popular form of earring during the fur trade.The ear bob was made
of a hollow two-part soldered ball suspended on a wire that pierced the ear,with a cone
Suspended underneath.
It was not uncommon to see a Native American with ten or more ear bobs in each ear.
