Hunted the Site of an Old RR Station

[oldmxrat]

Didn't find much, just the usual type of junk for this kind of spot and not a single coin. It was sure nice to get out and soak up the sunshine though.

One of those metal Social Security cards. This guy didn't want his number on there.

This tiny car was my find of the day. Thought maybe a Monopoly game piece or Cracker Jack prize, but I can't seem to find one like it. Anybody recognize it?

I found this in the same area. Another game piece?

The place I was headed for was up in these hills but I had to turn around because of around 6 inches of snow on the ground!

Nice. Assuming that is a .30-06 blank? Also anything on the other side of the game piece? Could be a collar stud/cuff link

Or .308 Nato, the head stamp was from Lake City 1941.
Its indented on the other side, funnel-like.

308 didn’t come out until early/mid 50s.

The NATO equivalent to .308 would be 7.62x51.

Board game piece it is… from a game called “Huggin’ the Rail” by Selchow & Righter of Bay Shore, New York. First sold in 1948.

I'll caution a guess that is a military stripper clip for a 30-06.
Perhaps it relates to the blank cartridge and there was a ceremony with a salute held there.
1903(03A3) Springfield rifle maybe.

Busy finds !
Congrats.
