I grew up in Golden and have always thought about the early times wishing to go back to the horse. What fun early times those must have been. The Great Wallace Show was a traveling Circus after the railroads were built. It's a sad story if you read into the Elephant. I love the buckle Colorado National Gaurd. From what I understand the C states would all have this buckle. Any way to straighten it? The Pike's Peak Region Colorado Springs City of Sunshine is a badge holder! I love the Colorado buttons, they are from the Indian wars! The Carnival Peace Jubilee Celebration would have been a good one to be at. Please post I love hearing what people have to say. I can't find anything similar! All were found with permissions! Thought I would add the licence plate! Happy Hunting! Cliff

Very nice finds. Congrats on the relics.
 

Cliff,

Nice looking finds.....I believe there's a few people that repair plates, buttons, etc....maybe one of the relic guys can supply their contact info.

I didn't think it was possible to find cool things in Denver.
