Hi All! Found all this stuff today, but can't realize what they are. I have thought that 1st thing is piece of vintage tobacco pipe and round thing is a hammered button. But I do not have any ideas about other finds. What do you think? Thank you in advance.

I don't really know for sure, but the last item looks a lot like a "sportsman's" button.

It is cool

The one with white ceramic, possibly an old drawer pull, or maybe insulator? I'm guessing drawer pull with the screw intact, might account for the rust.

Ok, thank you guys very much!

So, for now I got the next IDs:
1. Vintage tobacco pipe (part)
2. Insulator or drawer pull
3. Unknown (nail with lead head)
4. Unknown (copper thing with zinc coating)
5. Sportsman's button.

I will try to buy some rust dissolver tomorrow and clear these finds.

I did come small cleaning to the button and made a better picture. Sure, condition is terrible, but in my guess there are two animals holding a shield.

Interesting stuff. With the exception of the button, I immediately thought "old car parts" when I saw the other stuff. The ceramic piece made me think spark plug.

ceramic thing could be a spark plug.

Ceramic piece could be a light socket
The "pipe" if thats what it is would make more sense being brass since copper releases chemicals when an open flame is put to it. Over time smoking from a copper pipe can result in lock jaw.

In my opinion,
the ceramic piece could be part of a broken Ford "T" spark plug ....

Pipe

I was thinking the first item is a pipe (smokers) that got squished?

could the top thing be a candle snuffer?

I think you may be right, the stem connection part doesn't look right for a pipe to me.

The one shiny item is a 1966 Washington clad quarter. :laughing:

Button looks late 19th century..it would help greatly if we could see the reverse .style/method of manufacture tells so much..try searching 19th century button lions rampant /shield.or maybe leopards rampant..
google can be amazingly good sometimes ...
The National Button Society can help for sure.

Very similar to a General Service Button and a widely used motif..
Hope this helps somewhat. :yes:

You are really sharp sighted

Eugene10 · Jan 20, 2014

Thank you guys. The iron objects still soaking in vinegar, so no updates on them. Button doesn't have back side, because it was already missing when I found it. But I guess it was iron and now it is totally rotted because an age. And 1966 Quarter is not my my find, more precisely it is mine, but I found it in my wallet, it is from grocery change.

Item 1

Top piece might be an oiler looks like npt threads it might have had a spring loaded cover

firemanphob · Mar 12, 2019

I would think number 1 is an oiler or the catch funnel that was under a small tube to verify flow of a liquid.
