✅ SOLVED Seal/Punch/? and Buckle/Pin/?

[Underwonder]

This is the end of a short block of metal. It looks like it might be a stamp of some kind but the “picture” doesn’t make sense to me...It almost looks like a tree with part of a cross but my idea is colored by the fact that I found it on an old church property.


This almost looks like a buckle but was confused by the short rod with two holes.


These are all the items found on that hunt.

Thanks!

That's a nice haul of finds!

Item #2 is half of a lady's dress buckle. Turn of the 20th C up to 1930's. The two holes were used to attach fabric to the buckle.

May we see a pic of the back of item #1? Also, try to get a more focused pic of the front, plz. Lay it on a medium dark, non-reflective surface. That way the camera won't focus on your finger tips.

This was also found in the site from the 1940s which would tie in to your guess of the 1930s age of the dress buckle...

Item #1 appears to be a print block. Maybe for the letter 'L'? I don't know what the image represents...

Tom Mix "Straight Shooters" club pin. That is WAY cool!

Oops! Not a pin. A token.



It had 'gold ore' inside it.

Thanks, DCMatt...a printing block of some sort was my guess too. I didn’t see the “L”...maybe l for leaf?

Leaf is a good idea. I was thinking more like a decorative letter to start a chapter or paragraph in a book.

That is more like it because really it looks more like a tree...so a starting block is likely. I love it!
