not a clue but I like it

Nothing on back just the reverse of what's on front. I will post pic of back in a few minutes.

you can keep the common coins which anyone can find. That is the kind of artifact which is truly history. What fun to try to imagine what it is , who owned it, and how they lost it. ( well, ok I'll take the coins too)

Ok It doesnt let me add more pictures??

 

[Peyton Manning]

no worries if it's the same anyway. I wonder about the center of each side, they look odd. Are they damaged?

Hi,

Maybe something to do with Wine based on Grape vine and Grapes in motif (may have hung off Bottle with chain attached too where marks on front are).

With a definite rim around it, my guess is that it's the back to a small, handheld vanity mirror, or something of that nature.

I would say its a sash pin, you can see the two attachment marks on the back were the pin was.

I have never seen one with distinct sharp edges on it before. Usually, they would be rolled like the example shown.
