Antique match box? Silver Spoon?

[ajgiii]

Couple finds worth sharing.

Looks like an old wooden match tin. No markings as far as I know, but I have also not cleaned it. Has a couple matches inside. Has a crocodile type pattern.


Also found this half spoon with W. G and some other words. Might be silver.


and a pointy horseshoe.. never seen these kind before. All in all, not a bad day.


Any ideas?

Match tin would be a cool find, I hope it cleans up for you. The spoon looks like a William Rogers, maybe silver plated, the bottom of the spoon doesn't look like tarnish, looks like the base metal. I've found a bunch of those type of spoons and still get a kick when I dig one.
