A rosette. No idea of the age.

Your find from the Revolutionary War era farm is a US military cavalry horse-bridle rosette... but it is definitely from at least a century after the end of the Revolution. Specifically, your is from a New York State National Guard unit, and the specific version you found was made during the latter-1800s into the early 20th Century. In the 1930s, except for Ceremonial purposes, the US Cavalry traded in all its horses for motorized vehicles and helicopters.

Can’t thank you enough Cannonball! When I told the farm owner I was positive TNet members would come through he was flabbergasted. People like you make this site the best....oh, Isaiah 40:31 is my favorite scripture. May the good Lord bless you...
