First Time Post Corrected

[DirtkneeDan]

OK, I'm new at this and it took me a bit but I think I might have it straight now.

Yesterday I decided somewhat late in the day to do a little dirt fishin. I went back to an old cellar hole I had hit pretty hard already. I wasn't having too much luck. It got worse when the mosquitoes started biting. So I started my mantra....Just one good target.....Just one good target. It's worked in the past. I think it worked this time too. I dug this brass "C & Co" buckle. Can't seem to track it down though. Anyone familiar with it?

Re: First Time Again

That's neat. Any idea what it's from?

Re: First Time Again

Thanks for the reply. It's some type of buckle. Somehow managed to get the pic of the back on a different post. Still fumbling my way around here. I will try to modify.
I did a quick search but was unable to find out who issued/made this buckle.

I have been advised that this is not a buckle, but a rosette. Makes sense as I found it near a couple of posts that I believe may have been a gate at one time. Any information on "C&C" still greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to some metal workers marks. I don't know if it is yours though. It might be really old. http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Birmingham-C.html
Also check out this WW1 British bag. Fourth Picture over it is stamped C & Co. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRITISH-ARMY-WW1-EARLY-GAS-RESPIRATOR-PAD-BAG-HAVERSACK-/230657039870

Thanks fishbone. Looks like there were a lot of C & C's in business 100 years ago.
