5 hour Hunt At 1880s Home

[Fingerlakes119]

I searched today at the 1880s home I have been working. I found a lot of junk and also some items that I may need some help identifying, 62 pennies, 1 nice 1934 wheat, 3 clad quarters. 4 clad dimes, 1 key and a 1987 Chucky Cheese token, 2 toy cars that were trashed. I found a delicate item that may have been used in a girls hair that I need help identifying and aging. Also a rusty thing that looks like a mechanical door bell, need help on that also. here are the photos.

That first item looks like half of a two piece Victorian era buckle. Nice find!

Round thing looks like it might be an old electrical switch. Are those terminals on the rear sides?

Had the same thought about the buckle. I found one sorta like it that I was told was used to cinch fabric belts during the Victorian era, which would be the time period of your site!

Great Pictures. I believe the 1st item might be a Brooch and the Crusty thing is an ear ring. Keep Diggin-goldnugget
