Colonial mystery item and more!!!!

[sscindercoop]

I believe the coins are a 1770's French 1 Sol and a 1700's Irish George lll Hibernia Half Penny. The small women mystery piece is made of brass and the face appears to be made of iron, No idea what it could be so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking HH

Not sure about the mystery piece, but you're right on the coins. Hibernia is 1766 or 69.

Hopefully you'll get an ID on what looks like a figurine or something. Great coins!

no doubt about that field coop , Colonial , the mystery figuriney looks like a major portion of a broken 18 th century watch winder .

Could that be a decorative clapper pea for a bell? It reminds me more of a scallop shell than a human figure. HH
Broken Knee I juess my point being if you hang it by the ring the figure would be upside down?

 

[CRUSADER]

I agree with the shell type design, maybe a sword belt hanger/part of. Because it needs 2 more identical loops & the 3 hooks on the scabbard to hold it.

Maybe a keyhole cover, that works like this one.

I agree, it was made to hang upside down and could very well have been a fancy clapper pea for a bell.

Actually, instead of a shell how about an acanthus leaf? HH

Dont think its a clapper because its to lite i tested in a few bells and there was little sound made. I can see a face pretty clearly so Im pretty sure its a women. Thanks for the help.

Could be if it was to a small spice box or something similar. Thanks for the help
