SILVER AND GOLD item needs ID

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Dug a couple days ago. The large piece tests as silver, and the small hinges on it test as low quality gold (10K). Any idea what this once was?




Best Wishes,

Buck

My wife says it may have been a locket-brouch? Similar to what would have been worn on a persons lapel.

From the shape and size, it looks like it might be part of a change purse clasp.

The remains of a thimble holder/case?

I kinda wondered about this ID myself!

Now that's an interesting idea! I'll buy that for a dollar!

I agree, the pins match very close.

Looks like a pocket watch to me.

Looks like a pocket watch to me.

This is also a very good guess. It would fit the size and shapes and explain the gold pins!

Agreed

I thought pocket watch when I first saw it... but that thimble case is completely new to me.

Congrats on the nice find sir!
