Early 1700s tavern site

[Whatdayagot]

Found this interesting decorative piece at my tavern site everything seems to be 1730s-1802 ish anyone have any ideas ? It’s flat on the backside and raised on the front side with neat design also has a odd end not sure if it broke there or that had a purpose ? Also had rev war activity

looks like it broke at a screw hole, could it be from a gun?

It’s possible not sure what part it would be the army encamped here but the tavern owner was also a capt in the local militia I had found a iron looking object that looked like a spur or trigger piece but not sure about that either

yeah hard to tell on that one. kinda shaped like a frizzen but not sure about that. the first piece brass? it could be anything like a wall mount candle holder or door pull.

Broken trigger guard.



Item #2 is the right size and shape to be a thumb lift from a tankard. But I've never seen an iron one. Usually pewter or brass...
