bored outta my skull at noontime i called my Dad's friend and asked about his wife's sisters house.he made one call and 15 mins later i was on my way to home. notice the original boot scraper set next to front door? :thumbsup:
alot of the yard was redone and pickins were slim.managed a neat (1940's-50's i'm guessin) city marshall badge.a 1903 Indian head penny, a 1852 braided hair large cent,2 wheaties and some clad.spent 5 hours there and the small yard gave up about all its gonna give up.
have a great week everyone!

Re: 1892 COLONIAL HOME HUNT*LARGE CENT

You managed to save a few goodies. I like the badge. :thumbsup:
 

Re: 1892 COLONIAL HOME HUNT*LARGE CENT

Have that badge checked, the findings on the back look like an older original badge, not a toy. It could be an older repro, but my guess is that it is one of the early stock badges.
 

Re: 1892 COLONIAL HOME HUNT*LARGE CENT

Badge is very cool, let us know if it is indeed real.
