Relics Wheats & Dog Tag of Interest

[cambria09]

Hello All. Four hunts at four different sites, an old store and three vintage homes, yielded these finds.

Found mostly common items except for a brass ornate ball thing and a personalized dog tag.

I have many dog tags and a few with the owner's names but never found one with the dog's name on it. I Googled the owner, W. Ross Walton, and see he was a citrus shipper back in the 1940's. "Lucky Luke" is long gone for sure but he lives on at T-Net.

Thanks for the view and Good Luck. C9

Wow - nice finds. Wouldn't it be neat if you could find the owner or family and return the ID tag - neat!

Nice finds, especially the dog tag. Must be very old if it has a 4 digit phone number!

Hello Wildcat1750. Thanks for the reply. I agree that a 4 digit number is likely an old one but I cannot figure out when 4 digit numbers were in play. Good Luck out there. C9

Cool digs C9, I am intrigued by the ornate ball thingy. You know the dog tag had some age just by seeing the 4 digit phone number.

I brought the Merry Widow container I dug to work. I walked into the VPs office (he lives the MD life through my digs) and handed him the tin container. Like clock work, the 1st thing he asks is "what's it worth". I said nothing, just a great find and is on many a digger's bucket list. He began to look at it in more detail and I asked "You know what that is don't you?" He had no idea. He dropped it like the plague once I told him it was a condom container.

That's a good hunt.......nice array of keepers!! The ornamental globe is intriguing........does it appear to have attached to something?
I remember in the 50's, we had 5 digit phone numbers...........

I like that dog tag, and you might want to have a glove on your hand the next time you pick up a Merry Widows container !

Hello Chizzy. Thanks for the reply. I am thinking the 4-digit number was probably 1940's.

Re the globe it doesn't seem to be broken off of anything. Both ends are identically smooth and rounded. I posted it on the "What is it" Forum and Huntidog says it's an earring: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/521388-ornate-brass-ball.html

Dunno could be an earring I guess. Good Luck out there. C9
