Dog & Tool Tags from 1853 Farmhouse

[Jamie1993]

I found these tags at a field that once had a farm house on it. I was able to date the house through the local historical society to 1853. The first is a dog tag, the second is a tool tag for Bethlehem Ship Yard, the third I a token Alex Grant & Co. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks Neil, Do think it would be wise to try and straighten it?
