Dug these today, Sterling Book Corner Protector, Pin and an 1916 Barber Dime. The ball on the pin is weighty, any ideas ? I was thinking maybe a Flintlock Pick. Also the Book Corner has the following hallmarks, A lion, Anchor and someother symbol + the number 1031 stamped on it. The 1916 Dime was the added bonus

Nice find. Congrats.
 

nice finds :thumbsup:
 

Cool finds!

I don't think I've ever seen a silver book protector--that's pretty sweet.

The lion mark indicates sterling silver, the anchor mark indicates it was made in Birmingham, England, and the third mark is almost undoubtably a letter that would indicate the date that it was produced.
