strange thing ?

[mojjax]

I found this bottle hunting near an old cellar hole . It was sealed in side an old peanut butter jar with a rusty lid . The underside is leather . I think the metal is nickle plated brass . Any ideas ?
Thanks ,
Mojjax

Mojjax, Thats some strange find.Looks like you may have come up with something cool.I have no clue other then a form of body plate.Look forward to what you find out.HH

I'd have to go along with JARMAN,,, It looks like one of the shoulder plates, I've seen on the forum before...
Great Find!

What a great find! I have no idea what it is, but I hope you find out and let us know. I'm with Jeff, my first thought was some kind of gun powder or shot container. Good luck on finding out.

I thought it was a shoulder insignia at first for some uniform but then I saw the underside and I think this was a decor that would be attached to a saddle . JMTC. HH

No problem,BUCKRAM will probably I.D this item

I'm no expert, But, I was raised around alot of Horse Tack growing up, Kind of look's like sommething off a Bridle, I've also seen that type of silver work done before on some pretty old chinese ornament's, Kind of resemble's fish scales and the top round part look's like a Jellyfish? What ever it end's up being, I'm sure it's valuable, wonder if there was another one to match? Really Cool find.
I'd look some more.....Good Luck!!!!

Hi Mojjax. It looks like a peice of armer that would protect your shoulder and part of the upper arm. The round part of it would be on your shoulder. Matt

The remains of some poor girls chastity belt .Well it sounds good at the moment.H.H.

 

[treasurekidd]

I have no clue myself, but my equestrian expert wife seems to agree that with the saddle theory, possibly something worn on the horses chest for show. Excellent find!!

 

[northeast hunter]

I'd go with the horse equipment. Either parade or show decoration.

 

[Monty]

It really is made of an armadillo tail! No kiddin'! Honest! Have I cried wolf once too often? In Texas , NM, OK where armadillos are plentiful they do make decorative items out of them. Next time you see one, grab him by the tail and take a look. They don't bite! My guess is that it is or once was a key chain fob as I have seen a few of them. JIM Honest! If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'! True! Believe me! Would I lie to you?

True nuff, Maine has their lobster, Louisana has their crawdads, and Oklahoma-we have our possum on the half shell. Yum, yum but a little greasy and sometimes they slide right off the plate. Have we ever lied to you?
