Interesting finds jerseyben. I like that sterling souvenir-baby-jobby. Have not seen one of those before.
The buttons are always cool and how I lived without a gps in the past is like not having enough toilet paper.

Nice finds Ben. Once again we find similar items. I found a Tom Tom in the box a few weeks ago. I found an almost identical sterling/mother of pearl baby rattle, yesterday. Yours is more elaborate in it's decoration. Mine looks like the baby was chewing on the rattle with teeth, lol. Got an old Park Sherman notepad over the weekend. Did you spy the fractional currency in the stamps before you bought them?

The woman running the sale had to have been 90+ years old. She lived in the woods on a quiet road that leads nowhere (the area where I now live is like this). I guess her daughter was helping her run the sale. She had a LOT of interesting stuff to look at but unfortunately very little of it was really worth much money. After picking out some buttons and some jewelry, she asked me what I was looking for. I told her I collect coins. She then went in the house (basically a small cottage) and brought out a baggie of stamps and notes. She said "these are confederate notes". My heart raced as I looked in the bag and after a peek, I told her they were actually fractional currency notes which were still cool but nowhere near as rare. She said she knew that (I guess she mis-spoke). In the end she offered them to me for $5!
