Infinity

  This is one of my favorite finds of last year.  It is small--about one and a half inches--and composed of a brass/copper alloy. There are two small nails protruding from the rear, so I imagine it was some sort of house number, circa late 1800's. I found it near a cellar hole on an old abandoned farm on North Haven. Were there addresses in the 1800's?
