Small Plate?

[fyrffytr1]

Here are some pictures of a small eagle plate my brother found several years ago. It has S . Pancoast across the top and NEW YORK across the bottom. It appears to have an iron back.

that is cool. I think it's a brass tag from a stove or frying pan or maybe even a ration can. I don't think it's any kind of buckle but it sure is cool. The type of eagle looks 1830's to 50's or so.

From what I could find the Pancoast family must have been pretty prominant in New York. There was an Ashby and Pancoast company that made gas lamps in the 1870's. I believe that tag is older than that though.

I found this one reference from the 1857-8 New York City Directory for Samuel Pancoast, Stoves

Sorry about the large URL. I am not real computer savvy. I will give this a green check.
