whatsit key top maybe (Pepsi logo on a key?)

[celtex]

The merc looks to have been in a fire poor thing is in bad shape.

The middle object looks to have been inserted in to something and it seems to be the Pepsi logo but I think it predates the logo of that shape. It may be for turning as the sides are beveled to the outside.

Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas to all!

I'm only guessing but I think it may be a Pepsi-Cola coin bank key.

That's also very similar to a Taegeukgi; a symbol widely used in Korea and featured on their flag. Where was it found? Was it subjected to the fire also? Perhaps there was something wooden and the end is a sort of tang.

Yes it could have been burned as it was found on an old dump site that is now a public park. I have found coins from 1895-1937 on this area. Lots of older (1900-1910) bottles as well.

That Korean symbol brings back some bad memories of an old thread that just wouldnt die.

I know ying & yang symbols but is it the same? I have found old Chinese coins where this was dug. Maybe it is Oriental...

I dont know. The Gonjji stone pictured came from the infamous "Found in a Football Field" thread that was solved by a Korean girl expecting a $50 reward but the very determined OP continued to drag the thread on as if it was still a mystery for over 3 years and 13 pages. The OP (Piggy) had members so confused and incombuberated that 48% voted they are not Gonjji stones. It was finally put in locked down forever. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,91892.0.html

The symbol on the stone came from the 2002 World Cup in Korea.

I am glad I missed that thread

It looks more like a pepsi logo than the Gonjji symbol with the gap between the drops...

Nothing new to add but it is pig iron I think not brass for sure. I am still in the opinion that it inserted into something due to the shape at the bottom.
