Hello All,
I dug this mystery silver salamander on a site with the majority of the items were 1880-1915. We had a few earlier items such as a silver spoon made in Ohio in the 1830-50 era, but I’m sure it was brought with the family who lived there. No other relics were that old except for a few clay pipes. Of course I imagine this item was 1900-1920 but I really don’t know when it’s from or what it was for, but I really like it a lot. It’s not often we dig anything shaped like that! Yes I’m positive it’s silver. I cleaned it with baking soda and aluminum foil method and it’s intricately made. It fits almost perfectly on a US Nickel coin. Thanks so much for your help!
Best Wishes,
Buck
