Hello Forum,

I managed to get out and save some history. I found a pocket watch, Canadian one penny bank token, and a dog tag. Thanks for looking.

That's a great looking pocket watch.

How cool is that getting the paper insert still intact.
Can you make out the year of the sale?
Well done on the One Penny, and tag.

Can't make out the year unfortunately. I'd love to make it work again. If anyone has suggestions please message me. Thanks!

Send it off with 25 cents for the repair and 5 cents for return postage! And don't forget your name and address.
Those copper penny tokens look really copper-colored and seem to last well in the soil. I recall that the Bank of Montreal issued them. I wonder whether the watch is gold-filled? Both are nice finds.

Nice finds, that watch is more intact than mine. Great job
