I found this with a couple creamers. Any ideas? It seems to be bakelite. The Winchester house is right down the street from mine. Talk about history. Anything Winchester is cool.

I don't know what the winchester thing is but I sure do like the quarter.

Could be h the front half of a button off of a hunting vest.

Anything with the Winchester script on it is worth big $ to collecters.

Try to post a pic with better definition. The item is unreadable in your photo.

It looks like "WINCHESTER SUPER SEAL MADE IN U.S.A.
My guess is the butt end of a shotgun shell if the made them with bakelite. It's just a guess 'cause I don't know guns.

I have been a Winchester collector for many years, and can't recall any shotshell base made of Bakelite. That doesn't mean that none were made, though.

I would just like to see a clear photo of that thing. Winchester made all sorts of tools and attachments, as well as firearms.

Sorry Mike-This thing doesn't like it's picture taken. Here's a better pic.
Pretty good eyes maise, right on the money with the wording, but a bakelite shotshell would be hazardous. nice try though.

Here's the back. It's almost 1 1/4" acoss with a 36 cal. hole.
Oh yea. the quarter was the newest thing I've found in this area.
So far.
Thanks for the imput! James

I found the same thing, I have done some research and haven't found anything yet! Mine was found in Massachusetts at the beginning of July, at a bottle dump site. There were tons of milk bottles (all broken). If I find out any info, I'll post again and let you know.
