Hot day summer hunt at a 1926 permission. Not much old stuff and definitely no silver or gold.

Could use some help on the spoon ID. (might be the thinnest spoon I've ever unearthed)

No markings on the pocket watch, but I love finding them.

Still get a kick out of the toy cars too.................Thanks for peeking at my goodies and HH

Maybe the spoon is a salesman's sample (otherwise why say "sold in ...:" at all?). Albata was a white metal alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc. Rogers Brothers made flatware out of it, offering it in both silver plated and unplated varieties, in the 1860's.
