I found this near an old hotel. I think it’s made of copper or brass. It has a green patina. I don’t think it’s anything special. :laughing:

Looks like a toe tap.

Yes that came off a shoe. I have found several.

Yes! It is a toe tap, and it has a year on it. It says 1875.

That's cool when you can find a Patent date!
If you look very carefully, it should have a month and day too :yes:
