Doc Bach Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I have been on the forum for a year now more or less and thought that I would share a few finds from a couple of sites.One is a recently discovery where I dug the little bank and toy pistol and the other earlier items came from a site that I have been poking around for awhile now. The Bank Will Hold Five Dollars Of Dimes And Unfortunately It Was Empty. The Pistol Has Patent Date But I Cannot Quite Make It Out? Site Two Eagle I With A Push. # 28 Phoenix Never Get Tired Of Those! Roseette And What Maybe Is Tack Related Item? Wreath. Cryer Mission Era? The Experts Out There Will Know. I Call These Perforators. A Fairly Common Trade Item Are The Iron Bits For The So Called Spanish Pump Drill Used By The Native Peoples For Drilling Shell Beads Etcetera. The Pocket Watch Or Compact Lid Was Pounded Flat A Then Perforated To Be Worn As A Gorget IMO. And A Couple Of Iron Relics And Some Of The Usual Stuff That Always Turns UP.

I see some kind of serial number / part number. IMO that more likely makes it part of a pocket watch case. Interesting finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350's image shows two patent dates. I think one is from 1937 and the other from (June 17) 1890? Since yours only has the June 17 one it likely is older than what he has shown. As you've noted there are some differences, likely made for either added utility or to save on manufacturing costs. Just WAGging here.... Patents can be looked up online if you want to dig that deeply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
