Hello, I have a couple unknown things I found today with my family.

I'm pretty positive the cup looking thing is a 1/2 oz. scale weight...What about the small round disc's? Are those also scale weights? I think they are made out of brass....

Then there is the lady...it's a thin stamped piece...silver plated....looks to be made to sew onto clothing due to the small holes along the edges. It measures about 1-3/8" tall. I'd guess 1880's or maybe a little earlier?

Your cup is defiantly a scale weight and the two small discs have the look of weights also.
Your lady was an adornment sewn to a women's bonnet.
Great finds
Go back and hunt the heck out of that site.
