Neat find, do a search on how old bottle caps are. Does resemble a Jews Harp but I do not think so. HH, Mike

I dug out a garter clip that I had found but forgot the camera. But this picture shows the identical one I found that was made by the Brighton Company. It came from a 1870's site, but I believe the design to be late 1880's or early 1890's from what I remember reading.
