GTI 2500/12.5" Imaging Coil Opens Up 1927 Era.......:cam::nopity:

It was such a gorgeous day today. Temps got up to 15-C/59-F, so I headed out again to find some older kind of targets after work. My second junk size target ended up being a 1927 ALBERTA LICENCE Plate. It's in pretty good shape after hiding in the dark black dirt all those years. I hunted in the woods for a while, then headed out to an open area where I got the older pennies.

Here's what cars looked like in 1927, along with a popular woman's hairdo.

Here's the final best of the best. If that 1936 penny had a dot below the date in the center, I would be on easy street, as that is one our most rarest coins ever minted in Canada. The ring is kinda cool. It's home made, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it's made of. ie-non-magnetic, non-metal as there is no rust, very hard....after trying to polish it up, I got no copper or bronze color underneath. It was about 6 inches deep, in an area where pulling out coins late 1800's/early 1900's is not a surprise. Perhaps it was a home made wedding band made by a very poor person.

John enjoy your posts.
We had a 4 door model "A" when I was a kid just like the one in your photos. But they were black in color. As far as I can remember you could get the color black or you could get the color black. It had bucket seats and 3 on the floor shift. Windshield opened on the bottom and the gas tank was filled in front and under the windshield. It seemed like there was a tar like substance on the roof? I am not sure of that though? It is a long time back to remember and for a guy who has a hard time remembering what he ate for dinner, the memory is kind of fuzzy. Thanks for memories and thanks for reading....Z

Black was standard, just like the transmission. And H. Ford paid his employees much more $/Hr. then the average rate back then, so the word was out to support a guy who supported the people, and the rest is history!
