Master Find

[TommyLee]

Found on the coast of Florida after a hurricane years ago. It was unidentifiable covered with barnacles, I cleaned it for months, polished to discover some maker marks related to wooden ship private merchant, age unknown. All complete bell,, swag, clasp. It is around 40 lbs & 12" at the base. its LOUD as hell & resonates for quite some time.

To scale.

Instant heirloom! You should be very proud of your find and restoration!

With extensive research I narrowed it down to a private merchant then got distracted. Some makers marks lead towards a higher end vessel. Could probably be researched much more, I just don't feel up to it. Long covid fatigue has me at a standstill.

Yeah, I didn't take any. My wife said the same thing. My ADD garnished with OCD makes for unorganized activities. I have dozens of projects I should have before & after but I am a repeat offender.

Gorgeous find and buff up! Sorry to hear of the long covid. Might try some Ivermectin and consult the website of the FLCCC. GL&HH!

 

[TommyLee]

Ivermectin is my go to. Sometimes it works better than others, thank you.

Yeah, I didn't take any.

Hmmm, that's awfully convenient...

 

[BobOso]

once in a lifetime,great find indeed.

 

[TommyLee]

Awefully convenient or not chroma thats exactly the way it is with or without your 2¢... Don't speculate when all you have is a hammer, because EVERYTHING looks like a nail...

 

[Chroma]

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But you can't make suspicious posts with vague descriptions and expect everyone to congratulate you and no one to question you!

 

[Jelly_936]

I'm leaning with Chroma here...I've been following your recent posts and man things are just looking to good to be true on these relics and coins lol

 

[TommyLee]

So to be clear, what exactly would you guys be assuming here? Honestly I don't get it. Jealous, ignorance or arrogance? Because I am here to simply share my finds with the members, nothing more. I'm not selling, promoting or here for personal gain. You guys, this site. WTF
