Lot of brass navigational dividers and Paul Revere nail. 53 grams total, 2-5/8" to 3-5/8" each. While the dividers are traditionally the more significant item (the usual design with interlocking arms hinged at top, these frozen together with encrustation), in this case it is the nail that is important, as it shows a clear U.S. stamp on the head that is supposedly linked to the foundry of the famous Boston patriot Paul Revere. Recovered from: Unidentified Revolutionary War-era wreck sunk ca. 1780 off Maine.
