Brass Knuckle pick up

[tokashikibop]

A estate is being sold off here near where I live from a wealthy collector of a lot of different Americana. I bought this set from the middleman because I've never seen knuckles that looked that old. Doing a little google search on the objects brought me to the fact that knuckles were commonly used in the Civil War! Wow I never knew that! I'm thinking now the older sets may be CW period correct? The finger holes are smaller than modern man that is for certain.
Best regards,
Bob

The bottom means ddle is newer. Matter of fact I see them at army navy stores when I'm back home. The other two I don't know about. The bottom one could be WW2 but it could be Vietnam or 1922.

Not trying to be a bummer. Just IMO.
