Coronet Cent, Button, Crusty, & Brass Ring
Greetings,
The old Safari has been disassembled, soaked in freshwater, dried in a hot engine compartment, & seems to be functioning A-Ok ! (after a saltwater submersion)
Got out this morning, cool & foggy on the NH coast.
Pleased to find my 2nd Coronet Cent, My first was an 1820, This one,?
A Coat size copper Button (crusty)
What I think is another US large Cent (crusty)
Have found several with this encrustation, when I physically removed it from the others, I was left with blank planchets, has anyone dealt with this successfully?
also, a small brass ring with something missing,
A 2 piece brass sash buckle marked 'CH. Guyot', (my research yielded zip)
A Gcleft copper pin with a fragment of its mother of pearl inlay, (Art Deco Era?)
A #3 Brass lamp Burner, (Thanks Antiquarian!)
An engraved Brass Pocketwatch back, (farmhouse?) no back mark
A functional brass clock escapement ratchet & pawl gear with brass spring.(2 positions)
A 2nd brass sheffield fork, same pattern as first, will try to date pattern.
I am quite pleased to be able to search again, though an upgraded machine is planned.
Good Day to All, & Great Digs, Herbie.
