Heart Shaped Lock, Cattle Tag and Porcelain Beer Bottle Stopper

[West Jersey Detecting]

I found these two items on my last outing...No coins but this really cool heart shaped lock was under a rotted out tree root. I am assuming the tag is a cattle tag. The last item is an eyeball find from my friends yard in CT. It is a late 19th century Porcelain Beer Bottle Stopper.

Thanks to Wolverine for the ID! Now that I have ID'd it I realize that it is upside-down.

Nice lock . Your ceramic piece is a bottle stopper.

Nice! This dates it to no later than the end of the 19th century!

That's a gorgeous little heart lock! I've never seen one like that before and I used to collect padlocks.

Oh those blasted cow tags!
They sound real good though, don't they?

Now that lock is in great shape, Neil. I usually find them broken.
