2 Whatsits, One I recognize, Near death experience haha

[Beeps in my sleep]

Found these at a barn today built in 1812 and has history up until now. Had a near death experience and you can read about that in the today's finds. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/404063-near-death-experience-fun-hunt-haha.html#post3888035 The first item I have seen before and am curious what time period it is from. To me it reminds me of the old button rivets. The second thing, who knows.

One is a tooth off of a sickle bar type mower and the other is the tip off of a tack.

I though it was a rivet for a saddle or something it is brass, how old would you guestimate that to be Creskol

Technically, it is called a "carriage knob" .. it was used for securing the side curtains. It is hard to tell exactly the date, but mid to late 1800's would be my guess.

Sure it isn't an old saddle rivet?

You can call it a saddle rivet if you want to.
