Have NO idea what that is for, but you sure do end up with some amazing finds!! Can't believe how much neat stuff gets thrown away over there. I mean, Finland is 1/2 the land area of Texas, with just a little more total population than the Greater Houston (Texas) area! WOW!!

No idea what it's for, but that's probably saint George at the top.

Any ideas as to age of the item?

Is curious that something like that would have been thrown away.
