Huge Merchant Tokens / 1915 Woolworth Building Watch Fob / Old Toy Pickup / Another Capt Midnight Token / Barber / Indians / Mercs / Buffalos

Finds are from the last few weeks since my last post. All finds were made at public city parks and schools.

One of my favorite finds is the old Woolworth Building Watch Fob.
The Woolworth skyscraper was built in 1913 and was the tallest building in the country until 1930.
This watch fob was an advertising piece for that.
The $5.00 token is the largest merchant token I have ever found.
Another curious piece is that very old "Norman House" Key tag with House in reverse print.
I am thinking it is from an old Inn or Hotel. I have found coins back to 1865 at that site in the past.

Coin Finds
13 silver dimes are back to 1901
Nickels are 1920,1925
4 Indian head pennies are back to 1893
Not pictured are 57 wheat pennies back to 1909

Wow Dave! So many awesome finds. The Woolworth fob is flat out amazing. What a great find. What were the large denomination tokens from? I have never seen a 5.00 token before. Congrats on that Norman House tag too. Amazing group of finds as always Dave! Best of luck next time out. Greg

Hey Greg, thanks!
The large token was from a merchant called the "Golden Flood". Couldn't find any listings for it.
Sounds like an old bar or tavern to me
Huge congrats on that Nash car emblem..
