Small metal piece with Crown. ???

[jgas]

Located in an earlier 1850-90 era woods. Also found a backmarked London button in the same area. Maybe some help on age and what the small clip is with the crown. Thanks fellas. Jgas.

No idea but it is cool as heck.funny how these little old brass objects with patina are so compelling to us.

It does look like a crown molding hanger but I've never seen one with that bottom part and don't understand what its for?

It may have been a modified version for hanging something else... maybe a candle holder or a decorative plate.
