One man's trash......another ones' treasure

I had a good outing at a favorite 'old' dump site here in New Mexico recently. I especially like the three license plate toppers from the 1930s. Some of the other items are kinda hard to clean without really ruining them more than time has. Thanks for looking.

Neat finds. Is that a date nail in the second pic, upper right?

The license plate toppers are a beautiful find, I've never seen anything like that before.

This is a very cool piece... hope you haven't already been asked what it is already.

Best of luck to you,
Dave

Thanks Dave. These are the first toppers I've ever found. As for the deer art, I'm at a loss as far as identifying it. I haven't cleaned it yet so maybe I'll find a mark I can Google. And to Sandchip's question, yes, that is indeed a square date nail from 1917 or 1919. Haven't cleaned it either.

Congratulations on the finds! Dump sites contain many hidden treasures as you so demonstrated.
