Pants hanger? --Sword hanger ?? Help ID

[Ron (CA)]

Dug this in a Rev War Site. At first I though a sword hanger but then I saw Bill D dug one similar to this and Sutphin stated Pants Hanger. Not sure what a pants hanger is.

Can anyone enlighten me on this? sutphin--you out there!! LOL

It appears to have a guy on the front with one arm up to his forehead--but maybe I am just imagining things.

Any help is appreciated

Ron

Not sure about it being a pant hanger...looks more like a clothes pin...just a WAG

I know EXACTLY what that is. It's commonly referred to as a "USA quarter dollar". Mintage year = 1999. Value: 25c US currency. The "guy" you refer to is past president George Washington. I don't see any arm to his forehead . Perhaps the photo isn't macro enough ?

Nice quarter though! How deep was it ?

Perhaps the tongue of a really fancy buckle? ... also a way out guess.

Anyway it was for cleaning out horses hooves?

 

[Crappies-n-Coins]

No-no-no!!!

It's a hair pin for a girl with REALLY out of control hair.

Is it made from a fork/spoon handle?

Homemade money clip?

One of you Colonial guys must have an idea!!

Thanks

I think the tongue of a colonial buckle like NHBENZ said, The rod was probably iron and rusted away

You know if you turn it on its side it looks like a dinasour dribbling a basketball with a fern in the background

"The guy" on it appears to be riding a horse and holding his hat on his head.

It is obviously a clip for something... Possibly hat & riding related item?
