i have had this piece for quite some time...was repacking my kit and found it again. :tongue3:

hand formed out of a silver coin, unsigned...probably early 1800's.( edit: late 1800, early 1900's)

That's one of the best American artifacts I have seen posted on here

I also think it should be on the BANNER :thumbsup:
