some pics of my unknown stuff

[Southie E.J.]

I found a weird rusty tool, lots of buttons, some kind of hair clip,an 1862 coin (its big), an old copper I had to scrub (I got a faint 1723 date on it) a very old colonial looking ring, (I dont think its silver I think it aluminum). If anyone can tell me what some of this stuff is and what is good please let me know. Thanks for looking. Also if you can give me dates on some of this jewelry & buttons that would be cool too!

I believe your first coin is a Victoria penny.

I think the next coin is a farthing.

I have a match to your buggy button. Mine is a cufflink. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,281630.0.html

the ring looks like a cowboy motif popular in the 40's and 50's like Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, etc.

The anchor on rope is a fashion button design. http://www.waterburybutton.com/cart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=28818

HUH? Are you talking about the rusty tool? How could it be used to step up in a cabin? I thought it might be a tool to grab bails of hay.

Thats cool! I like when someone else finds something strange as the same as I did. Thanks for showing, and thanks to everyone else too. I hope I get a bite on the hair clip type thingy, and that sun button. As for the ring a friend said the same thing. Its not very old but its cool!

It's hard to tell what angle it is curving at from that point of view, is the curving part of the shaft perpendicular to the rest of the piece? I was thinking along the lines of this http://gypsywagonparts.com/imagelib...rpictures/Pic_0310_142.jpg&target=tlx_picbvfq

No. It lays flat.

My unexpert opinion is probably Victorian period,but I may off....the ones I have found have been in that period sites
