[FortBedfordbob]

Hi, I dug this yesteday. It's made of Pewter with a Silver Plate and stars. 1 5/8 inches in diameter. Also what would the age be ?
Thank You,
Bob

added the pic of back. Looked to me like it may have been leaded at one time but it's gone. in the past I had found a leaded piece from a Rosette
with the rusted steel attach points, not from this one, differnt site. So i didn't know

Thanks

Can we see the back? I am thinking maybe a piece of furniture adornment. But it maybe a rosette. Will need to see the back for a better guess though.

Very Nice I've dug one very similar to yours at an 1815 church where they
tied the horses. I'd say it's definitely a horse rosette. Here's the front and reverse on mine.
I believe the back is lead filled ? I cant give you a time range though



Luck was on your side finding a whole one like that congrats !!

If it was a rossete it would have evidence of a means for attachement on the back.
I found a near exact match(nothing on the back and mine was as big as the palm of your hand,too big for a rossette)in a strictly 1850 site

As far as evidence of attachments on mine. After the horses they used cars - at the same
spot. I found quite a few there some with attachments others missing them due to the cars
driving over them and length of time in the ground.
Now that i see the back of bedfordbobs - the backs are different. Other than the church
there is a cemetary across the street too.
Could they have been used in a cemetary
Note : mine is 1 5/8 inch wide too

Mike,no matter if yours was run over by a tank,there would be evidence of a bar or iron wires.....or where they were ie. rust which I can not see in yours.As for what they were,I dont know........would love to know!!!

nice find kuger i now know my find and Bedfordbob's aren't
the same on the back now that i saw his. I did find a few of those at that church.
Also rosettes with the attachments and wondered what those few were ?
His front is very similar to mine and same width but different backs

Thanks you all for posting these for us to see. Some rosettes were really horse bit decorations, and were applied rather than having a loop or attachment like those that slid over a bridle strap. Some stirrups also had applied decorations. I wonder if the bullyseye could be one of those decorations?

Re: Would this be considered a Bullseye Rosette ? pic added

i found some of the older types (to take a front and back shots of) i have recovered these at colonial and early 1800's sites , some have the wire mount or holes where they would go and some don't but all are rosettes as i'm sure yours is to.
