Horse piece?

[Garabaldi]

Found this with other old artifacts. Any ideas what this would be?

Plow maybe a middle buster. (Seed borrow)

it looks like a spatula, but I don;t know if they were ever brass? By the way garibaldi, you are finding some really neat stuff very often!

 

[Garabaldi]

Thank you Jonnyi.

Garabaldi, I agree with johnnyi, you are finding very cool stuff

johnnyi, you suggest it is Brass. How can you tell? please

savant, you're right, it does look more like a trowel (I had ruled that out due to the patina which suggested it is brass). If it turns out to be iron with some kind of green coating then I would say finishing trowel also. If brass, it could possibly be one, but could also possibly be a pallette knife.

I can't see it being a trowel. The small end wouldn't be round and how would the handle have been mounted?

But I don't think that's what your thing can be.. the "mount" goes through both sides..

I have to agree with that reasoning.

Maybe a long shot, but could it be the remains of an old pie server? Some of them were silver plate over brass.
