      I have followed you for years, and I really enjoy the inset photos of things after they are cleaned up. Really makes it better when the cleaning shows what the piece with dirt on it looks like, helps us to see what it was used for.

    The small iron oval item is a trivet for a child's toy iron. They often were supplied together. Many children's toys were designed to teach them to do things they would be doing as an adult. We have been collecting the Irons and trivits for years.

    I'm sure the final item is from a walking stick. Covers and strengthens the joint between the shaft and the handle. My father used to make walking sticks.

    • @Justin-be3zb
      @Justin-be3zb Год назад +2

      I think it covers a group of silverware with a cloth napkin around the silverware

    • @ChristyWerpy-sl5oq
      @ChristyWerpy-sl5oq Год назад +2

      One always had a walking stick back then.

    • @ericmorgan8044
      @ericmorgan8044 Год назад +3

      It could also be a walking stick tip. Slipped over the bottom to keep the end from mushrooming/splitting out. Being on the bottom would explain why Brad finds them often.

    • @Moomah-of-6
      @Moomah-of-6 Год назад

      Identifying the original diameter of the object might help in the ID. It looks like the flattened cylinder may be 3/4" wide which would make a diameter of just less than 1/2". Maybe a parasol/umbrella slider?

    My father, who was born in 1888, had a ruler of that type. My father was not a woodworker, but did have other hand tools, few of which were from as recent as the 1940’’s.
    He was born in New Brunswick, far inland. His family, if they needed to reach town in the winter, would travel by dogsled.
    He came to the United States as a young man and joined the US Army, where he served for forty years.
    I don’t think any of his tools dated to the 1800’s, but I’m sure some came close to it. I have only a few left. I wish I had them all.
    Thank you for sharing the history of your region. It brings me a little closer to the lost history of my father’s youth.

  • @stubstoo6331
    @stubstoo6331 Год назад +21

    Vermont is very close to lake Champlain Perry defeated the British in 1814. The button could have been from one of the U.S sailors.

      It was actually MacDonough who beat the British at the battle of Plattsburgh. His ships were built on the bank of Otter Creek in Vergennes, Vermont.

    The ruler threw me back to my childhood. I remember these always pinching my fingers! My father had one in his tool chest and I loved playing with all of his old tools…as a 70 year-old woman it reminded me of my 94 year old father who just died last month. Nice memory.

    3:43 im pretty positive that is the stand for a small hot iron, the type for ironing collors and cuffs.
    I grew up in and around old houses in the 1970's as my mum was "in service" for a Lord and Lady and family of a former prime minister.
    The kitchens pantries etc where full of these and many other things, all laid out and ready, to be never used again.
    Old family stately homes never throw rhings out!
    When she left, as a parting gift they gave my mother a pendant and 3 very wonky tatty looking old green drinking glasses.
    Turned out they where 16th century (one most likely 15th century. And the pendant was 18th century and the green stone was a large emerald.
    When she contacted them to let them know they said thats ok we never knew we had them until you found them.
    Those item's paid the deposit on her house.

    Those ornate tubes are napkin holders. The cloth napkin would be semi folded and pulled through it to hold it.

    • @Justin-be3zb
      @Justin-be3zb Год назад +1

      I think they would have the napkin cloth wrapped around the silverware, and then the tube around that to hold it all together

    • @kimgaudet4054

    10:56 leading on from my previous post of living in a 18th century house own by the same landed gentry in the Scottish lowlands for centuries.
    When they had social gatherings the Lord of the manor would only drink his whiskey with water from the houses internal well.
    My mother was the caretaker of the house and as kids we where expected to help.
    One of my tasks was to fill a large 2 gallon pot decorated with stags and hunting dogs with the well water in the Drawing room for him every friday for his return from london.
    It had tge tiniest tap on it as it was just for his whiskey and had been made for him purely for that purpose.
    I used to wrap wet hessian sheets around it to keep it cool in summer they made contact with the saucer base full of water which wicked it up and kept it damp.
    I know this isnt of that provenance, but i bet they used it every day for much more important things, most likely drinking water.
    *edit the tap on that one was silver made to look like a fox jumping over a log

    One of the reasons I love metal detecting is because it takes me back. Every time I pull something old out of the ground, the area I’m in just feels a bit different. Sort of pulls me back to the past and my imagination can run wild. Who owned this item, what happened leading up to this item being dropped, lots just room for possibilities

    Love the naval button. The crushed cylinder isn’t big enough to be a napkin ring. I deal in antiques and have several old pewter and silver napkin rings. They also at always are approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Did any of the old parasols have a decorative band on the handle or shaft?

    It's a trivet for the small cuff iron. My Granny had one -she was born in 1800's. She used 2 different sizes of sad irons -large for regular sized clothes. The small one when she ironed gramps white dress shirt cuffs. I'm in my 70's & remember them well.

  • @randallthomas5207

    The ornate cylinders could be neckerchief scarf rings. They go in and out of style, and depending on the era, and could be lost or discarded.

    Brad, you teach us so very much about what’s buried and lost. You’re one of the reasons I got into detecting down here in northern PA last year. Even though I’ve got LOTS more to learn, I’ve started a detecting RUclips channel…creating even MORE things for me to glean from your fabulous channel.

  • @Rstpete1
    @Rstpete1 Год назад +4

    Love the comment about the value is in the story. I have always felt the same way. I love finding a new, old homestead and figuring out the way it might have looked in its day. Homes, outbuildings, what they valued and did to survive. One of my all time favorite finds is a 1909 dog tag. It was issued by the township not the county also. Most likely because the county seat was just to far away. The home stead started right after the civil war and was gone within 50 years. I was amazed they licensed dogs that far back. Found they did it to establish a fund to pay farmers for livestock killed by running dogs.

    In old jewelry, floral pieces were stacked in layers. This could have been any flower, but the layers of flowers were assembled one by one with the stamen being the last. The stem of the stamen went down through the middle hole to hold it all together.

    That old navy button gave me chills! So cool. It looks similar to NA-26H in the Alberts button book, but the lack of back mark makes me think it is early. There are 16 stars around the eagle, not sure when that started. The 16th state was admitted in 1796, so my guess is after that.

  • @robertslusser6753

    I’m from Vermont and a map lover and it would be great if you gave us a general idea of your location because without it you could be in any state in the Northeast. And the Vermont part is what got me interested in the first place which makes this video about just another treasure hunter which I’d rather do myself rather than watch someone else. And no I have no intention of destroying any historical sites or any site if I came upon them.

    That dandy iron thingy with feet and hearts, is a trivet for keeping liquids hot, but not boil

    I think the brass tube is from a lipstick holder/stand, used to keep them from rolling off of table. The iron trivet cleaned up beautifully. As always, great video Brad!

      I think it’s a holder for a group of silverware with a cloth napkin around at the silverware

      If they could buy rolled cigars back then, that is what I think it is. Decoration around a cigar. Sure, why not. Look at the old fancy containers they use to store them, still do, so it might not be too much of a stretch.

    That has been such joy to see. The lid might have been a spice box. The military button was a great find.

    Could that fancy tube be a crushed cigar holder? Or part of one. Sure, is beautiful in the mountains this time of year. Thanks Brad.

    Agree, that little iron thing looks like a trivet on which to put something hot. Like a tiny hot iron.

    My Great Aunt,born in Ireland, in1860s,had an old umbrella shaft, that had a decorated piece around it.That’s what I thought of immediately,when you dug the flattened piece up. Maybe no relation,at all. The handle was also worked.

    Brad, another fine day in the Green Mtn's hunting relics of the early Vermont settlers with you at the helm .. The brass back-plate, or drawer pull back plate, dates from the early to mid 18th century and is very probably of the Queen Anne or early Chippendale period, or possibly earlier .. In the rural areas of the expanding country there was a tendency by country cabinet makers to not only follow the trends popular in urban areas, but also to "carry over" popular forms / designs of case pieces, or utilitarian furnishings, well beyond the next "new" design form .. And yes, it does have a current market value, as found and shown .. If someone had a piece of period furniture with the same configuration of drawer hardware, minus one back plate, they would be thrilled to discover that piece to complete a set already on the chest of drawers, or what ever the item is that maybe missing that particular form of 18th century brass period hardware .. Thanks for posting this video .., Your day in the Green Mountains starts my Friday morning off in Hurricane ravaged SW Florida, and we all appreciate it.
