Title: Peculiar ? Post by: Stig(The) on May 08, 2009, 03:56:00 PM Would love it for someone to I.D. this oddity !
Made of Copper Alloy & is 56 x 43mm in size. Solid though perforated. Poss 17/18th century. Any ideas folks. Title: Re: Peculiar ? Post by: romano-brit on May 08, 2009, 04:29:33 PM think its a medieval padlock, have seen one before, but not that common a find
Title: Re: Peculiar ? Post by: hedgehog on May 08, 2009, 07:00:20 PM Gotta have a go, looks like a pomander to me! Does it look as if it opened at the top at one time. They used to put small perfumed sponges in them to freshen the air up!
Title: Re: Peculiar ? Post by: Stig(The) on May 08, 2009, 07:11:27 PM That`s gotta be a No Hedgehog,It`s abit on the heavy or chunky side to be hung round the neck as a sort of Pomander & is Solid but lavishly perforated,may be a bit of horse-harness decoration? Maybe ??
