5 year Curio cabinet project complete

[highnam]

Five years ago I bought a curio cabinet for $20 at a auction, that same year I started my metal detecting career in a 1912 railroad logging camp that suffered a fire and burned a row of 14 bunkhouses and four family houses on my folks property. The next five years would be a history lesson on this particular camp and now that I am comfortable that I have found everything I could possibly find its time to put the finds in the cabinet and my lady can stop calling me "Trinkets" from all the treasures needing dusting all the time. Haha this cabinet has so much going for it, aside from the old lime green paint and a couple tubes of caulk, it painted up nice. The cabinet is a high end "Habersham" from Georgia, much to my surprise...
The finds that made the cabinet...
Suspender clips and buttons from all over U.S.Coins, tokens, tags, more suspenders, horse bridle rosette...Combs, pipes,
Watches, glass shirt buttons, Bakelite men's ringPrepping to put everything in the cabinet...no room for the prize of the finds...
Winchester model 1894 saddle ring Carbine

Also log stamp hammer...

Thank you Pa Plateau Hiker...I agree the stamp is historically important, I actually found that stamp twice in one day....the second time it was found was in a Darius Kinsey photo!
Look at the Gent sitting on the log with no hat on...so crazy I nearly fell out of my chair, he is the log stamp hammerman!

Yes, if the lumberman didn't have the log stamp with him, he didn't get paid. Great ID of the picture with the stamp.

I also read that if a log showed up at the mill with no stamp, the log would then be auctioned off to the highest bidder...even more reason to not lose your log stamp hammer.
