These were found in the PA woods near a few long forgotten stone foundations. Any info on the buckle would be appreciated.

Nice finds. Maybe the buckle could be off of and old leather strap for a steamer chest or something along those lines. Just a guess, thanks for sharing,

Look like most of the finds are early-mid 1900's, the ring with the little loop is from a curtain rod used across a passageway. The buckle almost looked like a fob until I saw the catch on the back, the shell design could be from the Art Deco era? Always liked finding the glass sealer inserts/lids, many different types and many have embossing of the manufacture on them. Gary if you look at the back of the spoon with the portrait on the handle for the manufacture name then you can look it up on line for the date when they made that style.

Norma Talmadge was an actress in silent films. After some research I found that the spoon was from a set of spoons from the 1930s that included several actors/actresses. Oneida Community. They were made for a promotion for Hearst Publishing.
