Title: Re: My 1st Hammered and other bits Post by: The Doc on October 23, 2011, 07:48:37 PM Nice finds and well done on your first hammered Joel! What is the diameter of the coin in millimetres please?
Title: Re: My 1st Hammered and other bits Post by: The Doc on October 23, 2011, 07:51:28 PM The copper alloy bit is part of a lock made by Joseph Bramah. Info about him here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bramah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bramah) and the button is a livery type. I'll see if I can ID which family it would have belonged to.

Title: Re: My 1st Hammered and other bits Post by: rjm on October 24, 2011, 10:37:52 AM Thanks Peter The new slimline Doc is good isn't he? He's given up the pies and now supping soup. Better quality food can only make him even more sharper on coin ID. ;D Title: Re: My 1st Hammered and other bits Post by: Kev on October 24, 2011, 02:55:15 PM congratulations on your first hammered coin Joel. ;)
