Old Airplane on stamped copper.

My brother in law found this at a site in Northern California foothills. This site was along a once busy trail/road. No longer a road there. Site was a store and supposedly a trading post. Someone suggested it is a watch fob...?

Thank you Don, appreciate it. Found in Placer County Ca near Yuba, Placer, and Nevada county tri junction. My BIL found a 1856s. I found a 1868 and 1911 dime. Some assorted Indians and wheats. Site on a abandoned road. Was a trading post at on time.

Cool early plane. French maybe? Gary

This appears on Pinterest at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/477311260493434156/. I don't recognize the buildings at the lower left, perhaps they are generic, but if someone does that might point to origin.

Possibly an artistic interpretation of Bleriot's 1909 flight from Calais to Dover - first flight across the English Channel.
