I found this little silver plated peice at a county courthouse that was built in the 1840's It is very heavy and appears to be part of something that may have been larger at some point. It has a small hole at the top and is very ornate (detailed). Iam clueless as to what is may be but, would really like to know.

I think this could be part of an old hat pin (or other fashion pin possibly). The iron needle part corroded away and the stone/gem fell out of it's hole in the top.
