Here are my finds from this week.

Best find 1700’s Musket buttplate with tapered butt-tang. Thx to Whats It forum team for feedback and ideas. Similar to Brown Bess British Musket buttplate, but not an exact ID.

Also found a Hutchison bottle stopper with mfg stamp, first one I have found with local company stamp (I believe these were turn of the century precursors to bottle caps)
