Losing Battle with a Lawnmower

[psgen]

Here are a few of my finds for today(14 July 2005)......

gold doesn't fare well when it tangles with a lawnmower......I found whats left of what appears to have been a real nice gold bracelet......well at least there is the scrape value........

The round tin (Cover only ) has the following marking: looks like a piece of parchment with a crown over the top and the letters

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?M
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?S - R

within a circle, in the middle of the parchment, scroll work surrounds the whole design........


A handle or something........

Hi, my guess is the thingy on the left ,that looks like a handle is something I have seen on old small pictures. I don't know if they had them, just for looks or if they were really used to hang the picture with. Anyone else want to guess? lol H.H

The middle thing looks like the lid off of what would have been a nice little compact. JIM

The item on the left looks like one of those things that screwed into the top of a lamp. Not sure what it is called.

Pickaback: That thing that screws into the top of a lamp is called a "Harp".

SaintSea Ithink you are exactly right i did not know what they were called

Thought this might help give a better prospective.

Nice relics psgen. Hope you're planning on going back and trying to figure out trajectory on the rest of the bracelet pieces~CO2

Hello,

I believe that the "harp" part of a lamp carries the shade. The upper retaining piece is a finial and is typically internally threaded. By the size it could be a screw for the side of a victorian type stand up mirror or pivot mirror on top of a dresser.

Interesting finds, psgen. It looks like a handle from a relish tray or something. Or it could be a horses harness ring thingy. Check out this recent post.http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,14486.0.html
