They are junk, you can send them to me and I will dispose of them for you....

seriously though, they appear to be fancy button covers from prbly mid to late 1800's in my opinion...nice find! ....something similar to this https://www.etsy.com/listing/120580925/vintage-silver-button-cover-lot-of-7?ref=market

I know tiffany stuff is one of the best just couldn't figure what it was used for . Thank you on date and info

 

[seaweed]

Sure Snaggerr, cool finds! I'm definitely no authority, just my best guess.

 

[Snaggerr]

The best part of detecting is finding something cool but what is it. Your help was awesome . Only been doing this for a year . Hit them fields . Snaggerr

 

[Snaggerr]

Still unsure most button covers have a slot which button goes in this dont

Hi , can you put a couple more pictures that show the fronts of each, wehre they are marked, and also which side the hinges are located on each?

I think Tiffanys will charge you a research fee

 

[Snaggerr]

Hard to get words with phone can see clearly with magnify glass

 

[seaweed]

Im stumped...I hope someone can recognize and identify

 

[Snaggerr]

Maybe a Pocket Watch fob for hooking chain to the lapel of a coat or jacket or a Lapel Pin or a Key Fob, I don't know??!!

One of these was found some years ago and proved quite a mystery for some time on Treasurenet.
I have tried to search for the Original Post but without luck. (T'net used to have a much more user-friendly search feature - shame!)
I'm pretty sure the 'original one' had the same figure on it and FROM MEMORY it was finally determined to be a collar (or maybe cloak?) clasp and dated late 19th C(?) Also, I think other examples were presented to confirm the identity.

If anyone fancies searching for the OP it would have appeared around 2007.

What is the diameter? Also, can you clean them more, then post clearer photos?

[Snaggerr]

Last one can see some of lettering real small about size of a quarter look to have had gold gilt thanks on any info

 

[Breezie]

From what I can tell from the photos, they look to be BUTTON COVERS with the button cage missing. If they are the size of a quarter, these covers could have been on a coat, cloak, or cape.

Neat finds
