Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure out what these are, or belonged to. The bottoms are not alike. They seem to be cut off of something maybe a flag pole, or fence post? There heavy for a small piece they measure about 5″x5″ I have two of them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have in my posession several pieces of metalware that belongs to an estate sale client of mine. He says these pieces were sent to him by his daughter while she was in Israel. The daughter says these items were from an archealogical dig. I’m not sure what they are made of. It looks like some of it could be pewter, some copper. These items look like they are all hand wrought. I can’t find out anything about these items as far as material, price, what they actually are or anything else. Does anybody know or have an idea where I could research these things?
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I’m a bit nervous.:unsure:
I have a Salver, and have no idea if it is silver or plate. The only marks I can find says BENETFINK & Co CHEAPSIDE LONDON with the numbers 798 Also on the underside rim there is a very small letter M The salver is 10″ across and stands on 3 feet (1″ high) which look like claws. The salver is quite ornate and weighs 525 grms. I have researched Benetfink & Co and the salver appears to be dated c 1852 – 1861 I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me if this salver is in fact silver, or plated. There are no marks to indicate either, only as indicated earlier in this message. I would be grateful for any advice from anyone please.
