Dug these today, Sterling Book Corner Protector, Pin and an 1916 Barber Dime. The ball on the pin is weighty, any ideas ? I was thinking maybe a Flintlock Pick. Also the Book Corner has the following hallmarks, A lion, Anchor and someother symbol + the number 1031 stamped on it. The 1916 Dime was the added bonus

Nice finds... Creepy avatar lol.
 
Nice find. Congrats.
 
Cool finds!

I don't think I've ever seen a silver book protector--that's pretty sweet.

The lion mark indicates sterling silver, the anchor mark indicates it was made in Birmingham, England, and the third mark is almost undoubtably a letter that would indicate the date that it was produced.
 
Nice silver finds.. Sweet dime!!
 
the barber is so cool!
 
I've never seen those corner protectors. nice finds.
 
That barber is in excellent shape. Normally they are really faded. Congrats!
