That French spike hawk is super sweet! Just like the one in Where Two Worlds Meet. And the complete brooch:

Love the pipe too... pewter? We just had a copper one from New Hampshire in the "What is it" section.

Your collection is unbelievable. I am speechless now. Do you get any pottery on these sites?

Thank you Kurt.. I haven't spent much time looking for it .. but one would think there some laying around these sites just below the surface.

Very interesting... and cool.

I know of a sheet iron one from Mass. that is 1600's, and a fur trader's journal talks about the Wisconsin Ojibwe making them from tinware in 1803. Pewter ones I have never seen a date till today.
