Title: Essex rally find. Post by: Doug on August 25, 2014, 03:27:04 PM This item came up from a rally held over in Essex over the weekend.
Several suggestions have been made to the ID of the item, would be interesting to see what the DW boys and girls think it may have been used for? No fixing point(s) and I am guessing the photograph is the front of the item, all the holes are not quite a uniform size. Many thanks..............Doug (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii166/2000amy/DSC_0003_phixr-25.jpg) Title: Re: Essex rally find.

If you look at them they do seem to have a slight recess around them.
Any ones guess as to what it adorned, maybe horse harness or belt. ??? Val Title: Re: Essex rally find. Post by: Dryland on August 25, 2014, 04:14:27 PM Interesting find Doug, my guess would be a pendant worn around the neck, using a leather cord.

Possible, but it looks to be a bit on the large size for around the neck? Title: Re: Essex rally find.

Certainly a possibility. Val Title: Re: Essex rally find. Post by: Dale on August 26, 2014, 08:09:35 PM A couple of wild guesses :D
A brass fitting from a wooden scent box? or a small air vent from the back of a old cabinet? :D ;) |
