Looks like it could be a bit.of metal off one of those brass coal boxes they kept beside the fire place years ago.
Some feen stabbing a dragon while tripping balls by the looks of it.
I think it’s Brian Boru’s SIM card
Early Celtic Trolley Token.
Good craic to speculate about.
Have to say I love the input here 😄
It was a pioneer badge for folks that drank water rather than mead. Obviously they didn’t last long.
There is a sub here somewhere, sorry I can’t remember the name, possibly whatisthisthing. People love trying to figure these things out, you might get an answer there.
Aye sure it’s obviously a thingiemibob lads. Cmon now.
Doesn’t look particularly old if some of it has rusted yet most of it is ok. If it was very old you would expect more rust or all of it to have rusted.
Cool
It looks like part of a hinge or clasp
How solid is it? Looks to me like the head of an old tea spoon kinda like the image below https://images.app.goo.gl/vaJgitzdK9nXgjdR7
Looks like some kind of laptop. But you’re kind of covering it so I can’t really tell more than that.
Blue Peter badge
Sideways winners podium for the Olympics Mickey competition?
Try r/whatisthisthing
That’s faerie gold. You owe a faerie a huge debt now.
Looks like a lid of an old ornate snuff box
Solid working hand sir!
Can’t really make it out from the photo but you can contact the National Museum and report it. They will be able to identify and date it. Ask for the Duty Officer on the phone or use the contact us form.
Ask over in r/VXJunkies , but it looks to me a like a piece from a vintage Scheer-Dennington hyperpositional tangential flux guide. The older turn of the century equipment had decorative pieces like this.
I see a dragons wing on the bottom of the lighter side and a dragons head on the darker side.
Some of the design resemble carvings at NewGrange. I would guess a lost pendent from the gift shop probably 20 years old or so.
If you hold that up to the light in Newgrange during the winter solstice, a spaceship will arrive and take Leo Varadkar back to his planet.
My fanciful guess would be that’s its from the end of a belt, the end that would lead the belt through the loop. Can’t say and don’t wanna say from where/when but they’ve been around for a long time. It would be cool if it was viking/medieval. Go ask an archeologist.
Ignore every other comment here. Do not attempt to clean it, note carefully where you found it, and contact your nearest museum for advice.
