Here are a few things from a few hours of hunting. I just got my computer back so it is taking a while to post pics. Thanks for looking.

Nice stuff! That one item in the first picture looks a lot like the saddle cinch or whatever it was that I found. Is it brass or iron based? Which area did you find this in? Good to see you back on line. Monty

You found three tokens! What do they say?

Glad you got your computer back!

Congrats on your finds!

 

[dgaughan]

looks like you had good days there hh

Monty that is not a cinch. They place those every few yards so people can hold on to some thing. The wind blow so damn hard down there. Hey stoney I didn't know you and Nana had a thing go'n with the shells and bullets. Nice race car did you drive it yet? OK I'm jealous neat finds. HH Burdie

Monty, the cinch looking thing was found in the Buyout. It's iron based which ruled out my 1st thought of a parachute pull ring. The only other thing that comes to mind is a D handle for an old storm cellar door.

Nana, I had posted something about the token before but was on the shop computer so no pics were available. Two of them are Oklahoma Old Age Assistance tokens, I think they are similar to the ones you found. The other one is a local token that says: McCracken Dairy*Good For 1/2 Pint of Cream*Ponca City, Okla.

Burdie, ROFL--you ain't kiddin' about the wind, I know you've seen some of it a while back. What can I say about the cartridges--I didn't want Nana to feel like she was the only one to find a few. As for the car, I think it was played with so much they wore the tires off it.

Haupin, I kind like it also. I think it must of been a part of an old wind up alarm clock.


Civilman, the tokens read pretty high-up to about 9 on disc since they're aluminum. As for no computer--I had access to the net from the shop computer but couldn't post pics or get on it much, only during breaks or for a bit after work. If the DT's got too bad I could always access TNet from my cell phone but didn't want a BIG phone bill.

There was also a neat little jar. I barely recall seeing one in my grandmother's cabinet. It's a Vaseline jar that's embossed and says---Trade Mark**Vaseline**Chesborough**New York
I'm pretty sure it's common but still kind of neat. There were also a couple of wheaties from the 40's and 50's and a 1950P rosie. But you all know what they look like.

Tnx Art. Sherm, I had a problem with this puter and gave it to a buddy who said he could fix it but after almost 2 weeks, I got tired of his excuses and got it back and reformatted it myself. Lost a few things, including my mind but think I can put it all back together.

Nice finds Stoney,,, WTG!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a jar like that, probably before my time... All the vasiline jars I have ever seen were retangular in shape...
Good luck, & Happy hunting~

What are the markings on the bottom the Matchbox car? Worn out, sure, but the right car is is still worth something.

It's a Hot Wheels 1979 Hong Kong. I'm afraid it's newer than a Red Line if not mistaken.
