Cherokee Indian reservation whatzit??

[GatorBoy]

There looks to be faded artwork on this... Clearly though I see the words Cherokee Indian reservation N.C. on the side.
Found with turn of the 20th century items..site has newer things on top but this was fairly deep.

actaully possible that it is complete tobacco pipe....google it...tobacco was a very valuable commodity in the region it was found.sample pipes were used to determine quality.looks like one of those to me

good luck

 

[GatorBoy]

You guys are "CRACKing" me up

 

[GatorBoy]

OK OK... That was funny...but I would really like to know what it is.

 

[mreese1849]

Can you tell what it is made of?

 

[GatorBoy]

Yeah... Thin brass with a coating of some kind on the middle exterior..with some faded designs like painting under it.

 

[GatorBoy]

What I think is the top looks like it used to have a cover that was made of a "gold" foil















Bad photos I know

 

[mreese1849]

That is pretty cool... hope someone can identify it for you.

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks.. Seems like whatever image is on it is slowly becoming more visible as it starts to completely dry out

 

[mreese1849]

Maybe part of a musical instrument?

 

[GatorBoy]

That would be neat

Maybe part of a musical instrument?
