Interesting! What is it?

coinlieutenant

It is a winder key for some sort of old clock...

Or am I way off?

Interesting! What is it?

It's a clock winder with an 1800 $5 mounted in the handle. Sorry, I have no history beyond that. I hope I get it, not only because I think I can make a few bucks on it, and because it it will be fun to handle, but because I think I can find it an appreciative home AS IT IS. I'd hate to see it go to someone that would remove it from the clock winder.

See my post in the currency forum about this auction.
Item sold for $5220. with the juice, below grey sheet and I think it was a sweet, sweet deal.

Did you get it? Did you get it?

notenovice

No I didn't get it....but in hindsight boy do I wish I would have bid more to take it home.

nice

MrEureka

Looks like I missed it by $120. Bummer.

notenovice

Missed it by $120?
The $5220 was with the juice...
Hammer price was $4750 plus 16% BP = $5220.
So unless your max was $4650. then you missed it but if your max was $5100. then you probably got it....
.....and if you did...Congrats to you as you got a very nice $10 Eagle!!!!!

MrEureka

Unfortunately, I still didn't get it.

BTW, it's a half eagle, not a ten.
