All clean, shiny, and colorful. Found an 1886 silver British 3 Pence. Thought it was toy dime. A 1967 silver? Mexican Peso. What a huge size difference. A sterling silver band of some kind. A 1927 dog license. A Fossil watch missing the bezel. The fork was sold in San Antonio by the Newton & Weller Co. prior to 1909. The buttons are awesome. I ended up with 8 carved shells, 3 shells with brass shanks, 9 glass, and 14 bone. The big one is 1 1/2" diameter! The printer's blocks turned out nice. I showed the best ones. The 3-wheeled vehicle is interesting. doesn't seem to have a motor. These seem to be for a catalogue. Shipping tags, pen nibs, violet ink, etc. There are 8 others that need more work. Thanks for looking.

That's all really nice.

Looks a lot better!! What did you use to clean your finds?

Soft brush on the silver and buttons. A flat, sharpened piece of brass to scrape the crust off the printers blocks and other brass objects. Elbow grease with a wood skewer after that is next. A cloth with mineral oil lightly rubbed on the printers blocks brings out the details. Wire brush on the aluminum objects renews the shine.
