Hello everyone. I'm new to the TN forum. I was informed that this is a great place to make new friends & obtain helpful advice. I unearthed a relic a few years ago that still has me stumped it was found at a late 18th century colonial home site with a strong military presence. I believe it to be a brander of some sort for property or goods. It is small in size with a small curvature with the initials DYS it is made of copper.
Descriptions & Notes:
Side A) You can tell the cast molding is different from Side C) Notice* the easy access to pick up with iron prongs. Also* in the center of Side A) might have a maker's mark.
Side B) This is the backside where the item would be picked up with iron prongs.
Side C) On this side, the face is full & rectangular. Notice the bottom has some curvature.
Side D) Is the face S.Y D but made backwards to represent the initials D.Y.S Notice* the lettering is flat. 2in5/8 long
