recent finds and my first silver...

[laralucine]

...plated flatware! Not a silver coin - sigh. Finds from a couple outings last week - grandmother's yard, my yard, school near my house. The fork is from the "dump" in the far corner of my grandmother's back yard - house built in 1915 or '25, they evidently used to put the trash cans back there. Harmonica reed, hinge also from there. The lipstick case and the thing in lwr right (under harmonica) are from my back yard. The "band" says "Page & Shaw/Boston" - a candy company that collapsed (stumbled and died a slow death) because of a stock scandal in the 30's:

from ebay, it appears this may be a broken pair of tongs, because it was bent double before it was broken.
The last pic is a cub scouts button from the school near where I found the 1950's girlscout bracelet a couple of weeks ago. thanks for looking and HH!

Seeker, it's actually a button - like maybe all of the buttons on the shirt may have been the same? It's about the size of a penny.
