1700's Mold - For What?
I have been trying for quite awhile to get a positive ID on this iron brass piece I found a few years ago. I will not say what answers that have been suggested previously so as not to influence anybody here. I have had some good suggestions as to what it possibly might have been used for, but never a solid answer that makes sense.
It was found at a homesite that yielded only 1700 era buttons and coins, so the age of it is not of question.
Hopefully the second photo will show, if not I will post separately, in the second set of photos I used silly putty to show what the end result might look like, in order to help with the identification.
