Baltimore brass - ?
In Lake Clifton park a trash pit was discovered on Saturday. A flattened silver-plate syrup pitcher (Warren Silver Plate Company - New York #851), pieces of a cobalt blue bottle (Everlasting Black Dye - Baltimore, MD), pieces of green glass to a Geo. Bauernschmidt beer, various pottery shards, a crystal chandelier piece, and the pictured brass hinge were found. My best guess on the hinge is that it was part to a door knocker. There appears to be something like a date on the smaller piece; while on the back there is a maker's mark and what looks like "344" and possibly the makers initials. Anyone found something like this?
