Saved An Indian Today... Neat Brass Thingy Too

[deershed]

Don't know which was worse, the heat or the bugs. I did make it out for a few hours.

Started off finding a kids junker ring, looked good at first in the hole. Found a few wheats then found a 1908 IH. Had to work for the IH, was laying below a root about 3" around about 8" down.
After the IH found a couple more wheats (5 total for the day) then found the mystery brass piece. I'm thinking it's a candle holder?

No guess on the ID but congrats on the IH and wheats.

Maybe a piece to a candle holder,vanzutphen

Nice outing.

Here's a couple more pics of the mystery piece/ candle holder. The brass bell on left was a surface find, found at the same property as the other piece a couple months ago.
Both pieces have the same design etched in them so thinking they were both part of some set.
I was thinking the piece on right was a candle holder. How small did they make spittoons? Could the piece on right be a spittoon?

Nice little Indian DS. I have no idea on the candle holder... my guess is urn for small pet ashes.... but that's just the way I think! GL&HH.

CT- the owner of this property loved her cats. I hear when the elderly women passed they found dead cats in the house.

I think your correct on the candle holder idea, with the other fluted piece being the candle snuffer. Most mantle-top candle holders come in sets of two (?) so there is another one out there, (in my humble opinion.) Really cool finds, congrats! Sub

Nice Indian my mother told me they used to call them golden penny's ,that one sure is I'd say part of a candleholder

Sub-the piece on left is a bell.

Nice finds! Congrats! Your IH appears gold in the pic.

Maybe the bell thing goes on top the vase thing?

Pretty sure the piece on right is not a candle holder but, a small Bud vase from India. The boy found a brass bottle opener/hammer combo last year and has the same design on it as this piece. And after checking out Bud vases online I found a few very similar to this piece.

Here's the kid's brass bottle opener/ hammer.

Nice finds. I was thinking a bud vase as well.

Cool finds, the little hammer thing is interesting

 

[treblehunter]

Can you put something next to it for scale, I think your probably right candlestick holder. All those pieces are so pretty, I love the ornate design on all that stuff.
That hammer is beyond cool, love the ornateness!
Congrats, great finds all of them!
