I need help with i.d. on a dump find.

[texasdigger]

We found this in a dump that the trash is mostly around 1900-1910. My father and I have our theories as to what it is, but I was hoping someone here could shed some more light on the subject. Any help is appreciated.

Flash you have to click the attachment then save to your computer and ithen open the file. Sometimes my pics load onto the screen sometimes they don't. I can't seem to fix it.

I am from Roanoke. It is about five minutes from the Texas Motor Speedway and 30 minutes from Fort Worth. We have had great weather to dig lately, and I have been able to go two to three times a week for about the last month. Mostly early turn of the 19th stuff, but there is alot of it.

Belive it our not that was the main theory we had on the peice. As a matter of fact today that is we finally settled on. I am glad there is a hundred years between me and it's former owner, but look at the bright side I just cut some of the cost on baby supplies when I decide to have children.
Thanks: Capsoda
