Found this at a 125 year old town site. Copper item. Help wanted to ID. SOLVED!

[rufus3898]

Hello I found this today at a 125 year old town site it was down about 7 inches. Copper item or brass. Help wanted to ID. I think it may be a furniture pull. I originally thought it may be a watch fob but it is too heavy and has the wrong type of hole. Any help would be great in aging and IDing. Thanks!

trivet or maybe a old stove plate part *note the handle with a hole *--it made like that so you could move it with a rod while hot -- grinder plates have screw down centers and do not get hot so no need for handles of that type on them (see above)

Its a Victorian horse decoration called a swinger. Went on top of the heavy horse.

Stefen, I think is less than 2" and found 7" Down. And Rufus thinks it's Copper or Brass.

Sure looks similar to the site Bigcypress placed.

Nice one Naud!

Looking closer, there is a slight difference but very similar.

The "swingers" in the photos are all threaded vertically.
Rufus yours has a single eye bored horizontally. Looks like it flips up and down.
