This creeped me out a little, From an 1800's Schoolhouse site..Solved

This old one room schoolhouse site from the mid-1800's has produced several nice Indian heads the last couple times I've been there. I got skunked tonight for coins but dug this item and was a little creeped out when i saw what looks to be a skull?? I believe it is made of nickel. It has a little pin/rivet in the top and on the back side is a small ring scored in to the metal around the rivet like there may have been another piece attached to the back that swiveled on the rivet...It reads "Our Lamented" ...thanks for ANY suggestions on this one,i appreciate you havin a look,
Jerry

Re: This creeped me out a little, From an 1800's Schoolhouse site..I'm clueless

It looks like a Q, (sometimes a piece of dirt gets in the mold lettering) but maybe it just says OUR LAMENTED... (lamented meaning an expression of regret or sorrow) maybe saying PRESIDENT under his pic. Date would be shortly after his assassination in 1865. Maybe u can find the rest.

I can even see Abe's vest and bowtie.

Guess what? Ohio Jerry found the other parts of this knife! 8) ...very cool.

Read up in Todays Finds. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,184651.0.html

Ohio Jerry found all the parts himself.

The members of TN helped him ID it.
