Does anyone recognize this thing?UPDATE-I think I've got it!
This looks familiar to me , but I can't place it. It is from a site producing many late 1700's to early 1800's items. I think it has a hole all the way from stem to bowl. I'm not sure of the composition. Thanks.
The item on the far left is a Lincoln for size. Actually, I'm not sure what the thing with the radiating lines is either
UPDATE - more photos here
It finally hit me this morning why this thing looked so familiar
The bowl is a perfect match to the bowl on a little gun I found about 100 yards away awhile back. Looking more closely I can see now where the latest piece is broken opposite the barrel side. Noone could id the original one for sure, and now I'm thinking that these little toys? were actually meant to shoot! I think they could be older than what I had previously thought. Now it makes sense why there was a lead shot in the barrel! I included some more pics of the depictions on the original gun to see if anyone has any new ideas on what is represented by the crossed flags, drum, battle axe, and woman? on the stock. Thanks for any input. Below is the link to the post for the original find.
