Back at the old farm house. Really cool souvenir. Dated 1893

[KodyB]

Back at the farm house again & didn’t find silver, but did find this epic souvenir piece. From the Worlds Colombian Exposition Chicago 1893. Other side reads “Compliments of the Keystone Watch Case Co.”
Love finding cool old finds like these.

Also found a 1971 Dog Tax Tag, but owners daughter got that too. Oh well, I scored a silver dollar there and got to keep it…lol.

Note that at the bottom of the Keystone item is a 'tongue' that serves the purpose of the item; a pocket watch opener.

Don.....

You are correct.
After getting it home and doing a little research I read where its actual purpose is to open watches.
That’s makes it even cooler!

Congrats! Cool finds. The World's Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago Worlds' Fair). The dog tax tag is also cool and very collectable. Nice job!

Wow, what’s the odds!
Just out of curiosity what state did he find his? Found mine in central Indiana.

I know right!
This year has been mild. We had a couple weeks of frozen ground & snow fall, but I ain’t complaining. Suppose to be low 40’s for about the next week or 2 with a couple warmer/colder days mixed in.
If the ground ain’t froze I can always dress warm enough…lol

Actually. I just seen that you’re from Illinois. Basically neighbors.
