1780s New Hampshire farm.
Here are various fragments found very close together, but not in the same hole. Inches apart. The 2 bottom items are almost paper-thin and very delicate. I can for sure make out Boston, above that I think it says most of Bailey, or maybe Bailey &, or similar. I am wondering if these are the remains of mantle or Grandfather clock hands, and if not, what are they? The other pieces are much thicker and may have nothing to do with these.
Thanks for any input
