Old coin hunter

Well-known member
The first item pictured is 3 inches long and 3/16th inch in diameter and also has some scroll work on it. Whistle? Second item is just slightly larger than a nickle. Third item is 3/4 inch wide and 1/8th inch thick. Thanks Jim.

Hey Jim, hunter of old coins.

First looks like a silent dog whistle... blow through it and see what comes.

Second is a symbol of the Eastern Star

Eastern Star​

The Order of the Eastern Star (OES) is a female companion organization to Freemasonry.
In the example below each symbol within the star is an emblem for the Biblical heroines Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha and Electa, whose stories inspire character building lessons.

3rd a Paul Warranty name tag. Paul Warranty was a great and widely admired Canadian politician in his day... Actually there is no such thing as a great and widely admired Canadian politician, ever and no clue as to your hand punched name tag. :p

Don't think it's a dog whistle as they usually have an adjustment piece on the other end though it could be missing. Has nice scroll work on it too. Thanks, Jim
 
I have not had time to look, but I remember seeing something similar to the first photo item. It may be related to knitting/crochet/hand sewing work. Kind of a special purpose tool.
 
JCR I think you’re correct. My grandmother was a crocheting fool (meant nicely) and she had a small piece very similar to that in her “toolbox”. She also hand tied quilts so it could have been for either.

I agree. It must be some pendant or pin of that order.
It is not the same pendant, but the symbology is very similar

I think you are correct. i think it may have been used to cut stitch or something similar. if you look closely, you see what appears to be a blade like piece in the notched area of it. Not real sure though.
