Pulled this one from the depths, appears to be crown at the top. I haven't the faintest clue what it might be, location is not much help either Picture for scale.

Alternatively GT I have two of these(at least), one soaking in oil and the other already as cleaned as it will ever be(probably)
presenting,....(drumroll),...the different version(ha).

I like the version you have too GP(I've not seen that one before).
 
Probably more likely to be your version Silver, considering it is related to Oz, might be hard to tell considering how worn it is. :)
 
Well being as they are over 100 years old and GTs looks to be a park find(by the 50c piece) I'd say it has a coating of crud on the outside that should let go,...nice to see it still has the hole in the top where the copper loop attached,..hopefully it will clean up nice, and GT will have a nice display item.
 
I can make it out not to badly using the guide. I'm near certain you guys are on a winner. The id looked OK thinking it was a clipped bb but it was fairly deep. Might be too toasted to revive but I'll give it a shot and put it in the pool room. Thanks guys not much gets past the pa dream team.
 
Coming clean just nicely. Has the yellow brassy colors coming through where the corrosion has not yet corrupted it, but the faces are in bad shape. The inscription side is definitely the display side. I'd let it sit for a few days and got a pleasant surprise. I'll let it finish it's process and put up a pic.
