Probably not The Holy Grail

pballwiz · Nov 8, 2017

Dug this thing in the front yard of a 100 year old home. It's about an inch tall. Came up on the e-Trac as a 12-11. I cleaned it up with a brass brush to get some more detail.
One of the handles has obviously broken off. I'm thinking it was part of an old tea set or something. Any thoughts?

those types of finds always make me wish there was a way to make them talk. Would love to hear the stories it could tell.

very cool find, thanks for sharing

Is it pewter? Is there any threads underneath the base? I can't tell the size of it.. could be, maybe, off a throphy?

It's about an inch tall. No threads. I don't think it's pewter but I'm really not too sure how to tell. It doesn't seem to have any lead-like properties. Not heavy for size and doesn't seem too soft.
I thought maybe off of a trophy too. Maybe that's why one handle is missing. Maybe that's where it broke off ?

I'm thinking about drinking wine from it and seeing if I'm granted eternal life.

That is what I was thinking. To have 2 handles, and the shape of them look like a trophy to me. :firstplace:
