This one place I have been going to decides to give out one large copper every two visits. At least so far. This time it's a real nice 1834 Large cent, unfortunately it has some pitting, but the details are almost perfect. Also found a compact from The House of Tre-Jur in New York City, a nice copper dog wood flower pin, four buttons, a small buckle, a childs skull ring, and a suspender part. In the top right is a small glass paperweight with the letter M on it. The family that owned the house in the early 1800's was the Morris family, and I imagine it was from then. On the bottom is a neat item. I first thought it was a small ramrod tip until I cleaned it up. On the one side it says " The Clough Wire Corkscrew Co., Alton NH" and on the other it says "Hail Columbia 1492 1892". Must have been a cover for a small corkscrew. This silver button on the bottom left is a what is left of a pewter button with a thin cover of silver. Thanks for looking....Lance
