Lead Pieces

ANTIQUARIAN · Sep 7, 2011

I have a bit of a mystery for everyone. I found these pieces today at an old park here in town and I've no idea what they're from! :dontknow:

They measure about 1/2" x 1/2" . . . any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave

Looks like they may be pewter and could be parts of a celtic style cross since it looks like there was a circle in the middle.

great eye LT1Stone, Cross pendant is a possibility, missing two arms.
Looks to me some kind of 'white metal' Black like this usually means some lead in the mix, here's a somewhat similar I dug & a web pic for comparison :icon_scratch:

They could be Pewter pocket watch winders, or part of :icon_thumleft:

That's what I first thought too, but these must be pretty old as there are no signs of any kind of gilding. :icon_scratch:

Thanks Lt1stone! :icon_thumright:

Thanks for the picture Herbie! :icon_thumright:

I think you guys are on the right track here, I just wish that I'd found more of it! $:-\$ This is a very old site it's been a public park since the early 1900's. This is the original location for were the original towns people settled, they were located just down the hill from here in the late 1700's.
Thanks again Herbie! :thumbsup:
