This was found in a old fisherman's yard where I've found a lot of colonial stuff from around the 1750's. At first I almost discarded it as junk them I got it home and cleaned it up and noticed the top of it looked to be decorated (almost like a elephant trunk, look at it close and you'll see what I mean). The pictures I took doesn't do it justice (I have a cheap scanner) but if you could handle it like me you would know its some kinda colonial artifact. I know it could use a cleaning for more detail but I read a post on this very forum that if you think its valuable not to clean it so I dare not clean it. Anyway, what do you think it is? How would I go about cleaning it (read use no chemicals)? My guess is some kinda of snuff tooter. Anything on this is welcomed even guesses!
HH and I look forward to your reply!

you also have visions of granduer.i would take the other thing you posted in your left hand and this thing in your right hand.throw the "badge" up in the air and see how far you can knock it with your "snuff tooter". then i would discard it as junk.by the way,nice nails !
ps,this was the same thing you posted several weeks ago,or did you forget?
you can't be serious!
