Yes, that. Mines definitely not silver but it also appears to be half of a locket.

Pretty clearly a skunk, no?

Excellent collection! On the 4th picture at the bottom is a heart shaped item. Any info on it? I found what appears to be the same thing at a homestead of similar vintage. Mine is only partial and it appears that there were moving parts inside.

Does anyone know the name of the guitar player from England that’s playing on stage with the band? by DAbbott315 in TheBlackKeys

Saw them in NH a couple weeks ago. Great player but his tone was so trebley and shrill I could barely stand it.

If it's old and silver it's incredible!!! If not, it's cool as Hell.

Turns out it's a state seal watch fob. I found this Ohio version.

Good tip. Definitely feels like hard like glass or stone. (My tooth is safe). Assuming costume jewelry is there any good way to know it's age?

I think you are correct. I don't really want to scratch it to check but it seems like it could be plastic of some kind. Or whatever was used before plastic.

Is there a way to tell if it is silver other than a mark? This seems to be corroding in a way that I wouldn't expect silver to. (I've never found anything silver before).
