Lead toy and another buckle today

[Blackadder43]

Only managed a few hours today, pulled out some buttons and lumps of lead and these 2 nice items...
Could someone take a stab at the ages of these 2 please......
Cheers..

1720-1790 Nice to be whole!

I think the cannon is early 1920s

Thanks crusader...i knew you would come up trumps....
I never had much interest in Buckles until i started this farm lol.......
Almost have permission for a known Roman and Saxon area through this farmer......just have to wait for him to take me up there to be introduced......
Then look out

The patina on the buckle is perfect......

yeah, you may develop a liking for buttons as well

Thats how it works, as I said, 1 happy farmer=a bunch of happy farmers (more land), equally works the other way

Nice Buckle as the outhers have said a shoe Buckle. the spindle, chape and tongue are missing but usually are but the lead cannon is really nice I rarely find Lead toys and have only ever found a couple :P I would be well pleased with that one
