Hey there - finally registered after lurking on this site for quite some time. Good to be here!
I've got a few finds from the past few days that I'd love some more info on:
Victorian(?) Hair Pin - about 5.5" long, details stops about a 1.5" south of the top piece. Is this Victorian? Any more info?
Enameled Pin - Found at a turn of the century trolley park. Most other finds from the area have been from the late 1800's. Recognize this style?
Crest - Appears to be military, but I have no idea what time frame. Found at a 1791 homesite, although I doubt seriously that it is quite that old. Back is featureless with the exception of a plain circle that looks to be the consequence of casting. About the size of a quarter. Nothing indicating that anyhting was ever attached to the back. Has a white horse top center, a castle or rook at the left, a field cannon bottom center, and an unknown symbol that I can't make out to the left. Deep red or maroon and white field.
Button - From the same site. Haven't ever found one quite like this. Any ideas?
Thanks so much! I've found a lot of answers to a lot of questions on this site without even being a member - can't wait to see what comes from interacting with you all. Happy hunting!
