Re: ANOTHER I.D. Please?

Thanks guys for your thoughts.
It is very similar to the candle holder, but compared to the other examples the slot doesn’t look long enough and there is no cross hole either. :g43:

I’ll let you know if I get more info on it. :g50:

I.D. PLEASE?

Found this piece of bronze. It is flat on one side and peaked on the other. It measures approx 9mm in height at the top of the peak. It is approx 34mm at it's widest point and tapers down.
Any ideas what it is part of?

Re: Metal pollution hide British treasures forever

Legalised field contamination which gets into the food chain, can't be good for human consumption in the long run. :g45: :g51: Nothing will happen until it’s too late.

Is there any thing specific that denotes the second button as a woman's livery button, such as the crest within the lozenges?
