185o's Housesite, AC Exclusive.

...little help please...

One half of an early clothing hook(?)...very strange.
Has anyone seen an example similar to this?

1.4'' x .5'' at the widest points.

I just received the weekly report from the project manager and on the artifact list is partially incised 2.5 inch child’s handled mug…with a green London Extra Stout and Dublin XXX Stout transfer on the reverse.

I should be able to get my hands on it next week to share here.

Just getting to this today. Here is a snapshot of the little mug. I'll post more from the site report as soon as I can.

I thought I would give yall a crack at transcribing the poem. The as is 'as/has.

Agree with Kathy as to the last part, not sure what the last word is... perhaps if we can get a better look at the large gentleman at the edge the context might become clearer?

The man on the right appears to be quite a contrast to the slim man on the left. Perhaps the last word is "Bloater"?

From this definition of English slang,

"bloater Noun. A fat and unnattractive person. Derog."
