buttons relics and a toasted indian

[john845]

I found four buttons , the big flat button is missing the shank. The anchor one is my favorite. Its hard to read the back mark but i can make out [-------A Miller New York] I found another Indian its a 1883 and its really toasted. I like the ax head. I think it was a shake hatchet. Any ideas on the shower curtain hanger looking things? I have found them at this site before , are they some kind of curtain hook?

Nice finds! The curtain things are Hutchinson bottle stoppers used to seal the old style bottles. Hopefully you can find the bottles they belong to!!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchinson_Patent_Stopper

John845, those curtain hanger things, are actually stoppers from the old Hutchinson bottles.... sometimes, you will find the bottle with 1 in it... they use to push them in...
