The next to last picture looks like something on the discovery channel last week re. S.A. indians | Hate to dis you, but the Native Americans NEVER discovered bronze. 
They didn't know what bronze was nor how to make it.
PS. They didn't have the wheel or horse's either (horse's were first brought to the America's by the Spainish). All trade and movement was by man power.
EDIT: Except the Inca's, they had domesticated the Llamas(sp).

If you want fascinating then think about this:
A golden boomerang was found in King Tut's tomb. (c.2500 BCE)
A wooden boomerang was found in the tomb of a Danish King. (c.1200 BCE)
Question: Did the boomerang predate the bow and arrow?
Sorry for crapping your thread Rob.
EDIT: BCE means (Before Common Era) for us it's 1950 AD = 0 BCE.

Possible used as a creamer to hold cream for tea or coffee or maybe they kept water warm in it for tea .Being tea was more popular years ago than coffee.

If you want to get a lot of money for it, just put it on eBay and attach a ghost story to it.
You'll be rich in no time. | |

| Nope. It still is collecting dust in my living room. If nothing else, it makes for a good conversation piece.
