Lot of many copper needles, pins, tacks and shoe-string tips known as aglets. 28.7 grams total. Mostly flat-head tacks and sphere-head pins, but also some tubular aglets, which colonists fastened to the ends of their shoe-strings to facilitate threading and keep from fraying, mostly intact but patinated and some coated with wax. Found in a Spanish colonial area in the southern Caribbean, ca. 1590.
