Brass Parasol Slides? I Just Don't See It.
I found another supposed parasol slide today. That makes two in a few weeks. I really want to know what these things are for certain. Please forgive me for being a skeptic, I just feel they were used for something different, what, I have no clue. Has anyone seen a picture of one on an umbrella? All the ones I have dug are at Civil War or earlier sites, and they have a hole through them, often with a steel pin through the hole. Any help is appreciated as always.



Edit: spelling
