Silver Horse Brush

Captain Caveman · Mar 1, 2016

Silversmith and I went out for about 2 hours after work yesterday to an abandoned house. Finds were slim. I found a clad dime and 5 wheaties along with a Saymaker pad lock and a sterling silver horse brush. I was swinging the E-TRAC and it rang up as silver but it was big and shallow, so I assumed it was a piece of junk and was just removing it so it wouldn't be there in the future. But, when I pulled it out of the ground, it sure looked silver. So, I cleaned it some and there were makers marks and STERLING. Cool. Here are some pics. Thanks for looking.

PS - I looked up the marks and they are for R. Blackinton & Co.

No. And that's the thing I like so much about MDing. You never know what you're gonna find!

Thanks Tom! This makes 2 items in just a few weeks that my wife really likes. The other was the silver baby bib clip. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/members/95099-albums4269-picture1275520.html
