  • highly entertaining

  • Your round disc is not a button. It's called a hemweight. They were sewn into the bottom hem of coats, jackets and even curtains in order to make them hang down tightly. Keep hunting! There is more stuff out there for you!

  • thats what i thought

  • Good job. I do think the pan is from the 30's or 40's. I bought one in antique shop and my mother in law had a whole collection she used. The nail is a good one. We used to own an old house from 1900 and the nails used to build it looked like that. But I don't know how old yours could be.

    Good luck to you! Have fun.
