Need help identifying

[MikeDiG]

Was metal detecting a little old farm field by my house in south jersey this past Sunday. Came across this. Looks to me like some type of suspender clip. Was wondering If anybody can tell me who the image is of or what it is for sure? Maybe be able to tell what time period the item is from. Thanks and happy hunting!!

Looks like a suspender clip to me,A very interesting one at that.Someone should be along to help you out.Nice find

 

[MikeDiG]

Thank you. It's cool looks like 1800's to me not sure. The face is fatigued almost similar to a Native American but it has the 13 stars around the image to represent the 13 colonies. So I'm not quite sure.

I think the suspender clip depicts Geo. Washington, or maybe Jefferson?

I am 98% sure that is GW! Awesome find. Take a look at this and see if it looks similar

 

[Ahab8]

Ok now I'm not so sure myself but the stars and GW would fit well together

Now that is just about the funniest thing I have ever seen on here. Like having a 6 year old draw the sketch of a murder suspect to show to the public! Abe Abe Abe

Was that really the best profile shot you could find? But there is 2% you are not sure... I wonder why.

George was very sick at the end lol

Ha ha ha I thought maybe I'd be the only one on here today and I could sneak that through lol. But I should know better. Ok I'm actually 108% sure :-)

 

[Ahab8]

I make one good find and now I think I know everything :-)

I don't know that it's a suspender clip - perhaps a book strap ornament - it has a crimp buckle closure that
I associate with a strap or belt . As to dating ,I should think late 19th /early twentieth C. Nice Find .

 

[MikeDiG]

Yea I thought George Washington or Thomas Jefferson can't find a good side profile picture of either that really matches the one in the clip. Does anybody have an idea of what time period it is from?

 

[Argentium]

I think Washington/Jefferson is correct - ( and circa 1890-1900 ).

Nice find. Congrats.

Oh Abe...

 

[Old Dude]

May I correct Abe for once? Lol! Pretty sure that is NOT GW. I have never seen his depictions that gaunt. Thomas Jefferson did have similar features and it could be him. What are the 2 items on either side? The pic is a little blurry and they might give a clue. Nice little clip, whatever it is. Congrats.
Abe, in your defense, that etch a sketch pic wasn't THAT bad, lol!
