Tombacs? Dropped yesterday?

I got these earlier this year, and was wondering of the age. The area I work gives up some quality condition pieces so I was wondering if this is old or modern?

Definitely old. (Tombac holds up much better than other metals)

What time frame are we talking when we say old?

Late 17s, early 18s. I was looking at your anchor buttons..... you need to find some marked ones where you got those tombacs. (or that age anyway)

agreed, if you put them at about 1790 can't go far wrong either way
