Help identify old piece.... west Texas find.

[J-Fish]

one more teaser for you.... it was found in a cave close to 40 years ago. I am thinking it had to be put there back in the Indian days.

How the **** can anyone call Menard "West" Texas? Its 40 miles from the dead center of the state.

As for the article, I think it's more modern than you might think. Possibly pressed tin from the 50s or 60s. Hard to say without knowing what its made of.

pray for rain

I know it!!
I guessed the same way they call Brady and Brownwood West Texas also Houston and Tyler are East Texas.....

Maybe a earring from the Lilly Langtry era.

I would guess it to be at least 40 years old. Can't help you anymore than that. I don't get out that far west too often.

The sail of a wind chime?
What's it made of?

Is it just me or does that look vaguely masonic?

This ^^^^^

I'd send a photo to the local lodge. It may have been stolen in an Indian raid.

Well why don’t you school us old wise one...



Don’t know about you but this lines up with my texas history and geography classes from high school.

Cant tell if it’s “pot metal” or silver but it was cast, not stamped

Obviously gerrymandering

How can a South Texas county be north of a Central Texas county

Has the shape of a metal collar tip but is too large.

It’s a saddle skirt ornament, called a Texas Martingale. Made for the Dragoons during the Mexican War I read.

Google that and read about it. Does it have the 3 clips on the rear like the pictures I found?

It does not look like anything Masonic to me. At least nothing like I have come across.
