yeah somebody needed a farthing so they cut the halfpenny for change :clapping: :clapping: i just love the no-nonsense ingenuity of the colonial people lol lol very sweet shoe buckle Dave congrats on no. 2 :cheering: :cheering: the brass items were the collar to wooden handled tools where the iron would go into the wooden handle they fitted a brass collar to keep the iron from comming out . very very nice day buddy.

Looks like someone got short changed on that copper. I think your half is bigger lol Nice complete buckle :clapping: Not like the oval ones we get around here a lot. I've got one of those end caps on iron too. I think the thicker ones go with that and the thin ones are on the underside of a lantern. Here's two (although not the example I wanted to find) from lanterns. Similar but not exactly like yours. I think you are right about it being horse or animal related :yes:
