ace250 finds

[Mega]

Went out today for a little while and picked up these 2 charms. These were found where a house once stood, i think it was torn down about 6 years ago. The coca cola is a hair bigger than a quarter. Didnt know coca cola when back so far (50th Anniversary= 1936)

Unsure of what to think about the Tennessee charm, says 14k gold plated on the back. I know it cant be as old as the date says, anybody have a clue?

Coke has been around for many years! The company was founded in 1886 (just before my birthday)! That piece might have some miles on it. The other piece, I don't know anything about it either but it sure is a nice token to save. Great hunting!

Nice finds,

I believe those are watch FOB's of some kind, maybe key chain fobs, but definitely not tokens!

The Tenn. State seal is an old one! What leads me to believe they're watch fob's is, people didn't use key chains in the fashion we do now, and have for the past 40 yrs or so.. Those pieces are from a time 'before' everyone carried key chains as we do now.

I'd be re-checking THAT place!

Coke memorabelia (sp?)has a huge collector following. That coke item might have some value. Check out EBAY or the web to see what it might be worth.

Good luck!

Great finds I love find the odd things. Although old coins aren't bad either.
Went to Coca Cola collectibles on eBay and first item I saw was your FOB. They're calling it a keychain.
Here's the link to the item.

Very nice fobs, key chains, etc...
Anything with coke on it's good, but they would have to give me more than the $13 dollar bid they have on the one on ebay, to make me get rid of it..
WTG!!!

I have a suggestion about the date.

I know that in Canada, the provinces at various times, controlled the importation of certain metals. Older metal was grandfathered in. So sometimes things were backdated when they were made.

Could that be the case here?
