Three Dandies, Shoe Buckle, Some I Don't Knows

[OxShoeDrew]

Hiya Friends, I had a few nice after-work hunts this week. I have doubles, and I think triples of these dandies. I dug the buckle frame and immediately thought I had a potential match. The cooking-pot chape and forked tongue match that frame? What is that knobby thing?...drawer pull? The horse thing just a hangy decoration? Thanks!

Buckle buttons and a neat decorative piece all nice finds.

Very cool digs Drew. Is that a watch winder below the show buckle? Could that horse hangy thing be a trivet? Nice shoe buckle by the way.

Great bunch of finds Drew, I really like the shoe buckle, those style of knives seemed common a long time ago, I've got a nickel silver one that I polished up that I found at a middle 1800's town hall building.

Alright mister i'm a bit disappointed , no framed picture of the horse who was wearing that decorated brass ?? ;) :teasing:

sweet looking complete shoe buckle :smitten:some nice dandies , you should just stick to after work hunts from now on .

[OxShoeDrew]

Thanks Bell, Timewarp, ...yeah Jeff ...my first thought was a trivet but the back doesn't have any short legs and the handle isn't really long enough for a handle. Maybe they made trivets to just sit on the table?
Giant, I'd love to find a real silver spoon, all I get is plated stuff. This butter knife has a lily pad motif.
:lol: @ Dan...yeah, I do love my short afternoon hunts. Calms me after the chaos of my job. :daydream:

Interesting finds. I really like the old shoe buckle. Congrats on the variety.

the horse motif item looks familiar Drew , google "brass horse flasher" pictures or "horse brass" pictures and you should see some similar examples.

U always find a lot of spoons. Not bad with the buttons. The knob thing... I am reminded of the top to a lamp, altho what you have could be a drawer pull. I found something that was almost like a screw for the shade, but it had a red marble.

Are the students that rowdy?

[OxShoeDrew]

Haha, not really Jim, but school is school.
Thanks Geode, that buckle is a great match. :grin:
DAN!!! That's it!! :lol: Nailed it. The ones I saw were shaped exactly like mine. They were worn by large parade/show horses. Thanks man :notworthy:

[Jyes]

Very nice finds, I personally would call it a Trivet, do not think all trivets had legs, two of mine have 3 long legs _1/4-1/2" but the third one has basically just 3 bumps on the underside. I did see examples similar to yours called trivets, great display find regardless!

Nice finds Drew!

[aloldstuff]

Drew, very nice finds. That horse brass is very cool, any chance of polishing that up?

[CTTodd]

I love digging buttons

[OxShoeDrew]

Thanks everyone.
Al, there's a chance of me polishing that horse flash but I'd call it a fat one. :lol: I don't enjoy the cleaning part of this hobby, do you?

[OxShoeDrew]

Very cool digs Drew. Is that a watch winder below the show buckle? Could that horse hangy thing be a trivet? Nice shoe buckle by the way.
Thanks Jeff, may be a watch winder. It's not as hefty and slightly larger than other winders. I don't think the ends are correct. :dontknow:

Nice finds there! Finally a knife! So sick of it always being spoons. I find it always amazing the amount of metal stuff strewn about. Humans are just the ultimate litter bugs......

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

[foundation hunter]

Nice buckle and buttons.
