Hi guys.
Super stumped here.
Bought these cheap at an auction tonight. No one, including the auctioneer had any idea what they were. They looked very old and just spoke to me.
I really don't even have any ideas here.
I am guessing they are made of brass/bronze/copper? not sure. Just basing it off of the oxidation.
There are 5 solid pieces that have holes all the way through them. 3 are UFO shaped and 2 are slightly conical. Tried to show this as best I can in the pics. They are solid, not hollow. They have carved/stamped decorations around them. One has a 6 pointed star with a grid patter, others that look like rays, etc.
There is also a hollow metal piece with 2 cones going into it. Very odd. The ball portion seems to be 2 sperate pieces connected together.
There is also have a circle of thin metal with 2 holes at the bottom, and hot air balloon/whale shaped piece of thin metal.
Finally there is what looks like a tiny spoon. Has a hole near the base of the spoon part and hand-decorated on the actually surface of the spoon.
NO IDEA if these are at all related or not. Someone placed them in a display case as a grouping.
I can get more pics if need be. Penny is for reference.
I would love any help! I'd be very impressed if anyone can positively ID any of this.
Thanks guys
