[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 387149, member: 11952"] Hi all, not sure what I have here, hopefully someone has seen one before. I found this in central Vic, the date should be around 1880-1890. I don't really know where to start with ID'ing it, I'm not 100 percent sure about it's purpose (button if I had to take a punt). It's a lead disc about the size of a 5c coin, one side has a bird and the word PATENT underneath it. The flip side has a brand which i can't make out properly due to the corrosion aside from the ampersand, something like "S & B". Any clues would be appreciated!
