Lots of interesting relics over the last month. All from one area of town where much construction is taking place. Finds include: Green River Whiskey good luck token from the 1930s, a saloon token from the Cosmopolitan in Austin, Tx.(1883-188
featuring the old University of Texas Main Building on one side and the State Capitol on the other, a Capital City Moose Lodge #701 5c aluminum token, a nice flat button featuing Neptune, a baby spoon with "This Little Piggy Went to Market" in the bowl and "1907" etched into the back of the bowl, an old replica of a 1691-1709 Venetian 2Solda coin with a hole in it, an art-deco era Low Hurdles award pendant, another old pendant with "Pearl" etched into the front, a 1917P and 1918D Mercury dime, 11 wheats, 6 Jefferson nickels from 40s and 50s, a Class of 1964 good luck token, an early Great Seal button, a US 143rd Texas National Guard enlisted collar disk, 2 old Lincoln Mercury keys, a Model T key, a lead seal for the I&GN Railroad, a gigatic silver and enamel, flower-shaped ring, a toy-winding key, 3 pocket watch backs, a solid brass 10ga U.M.C.CO. shell, a brass ID tag for the Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburg, another ID tag with "Parker 1904 Davis Washington" on front, a Hall & Elton spoon from 1840-1875, a Corbin padlock from around 1909, 4 ceramic marbles, assorted buckles and clasps, and while digging I dug up a plastic President Eisenhower from which says; 1953-, so it must have been the last one of a set from the 50s. Too many others to list and I couldn't load any more pics than this.
