Some recent finds, some old (updated 6/15/06)

[ringding]

Here are some finds from over the years. Most are recent. In the upper left is a Georgia license tag dated 1927. On the bottom is (I believe) the metal faceplate for a Spalding "wood" golf club. Does anyone have any ideas about the confederate flag? I have reason to believe it is old and not part of a toy or something like that.

I just found a Spaulding #3 brass cap almost exactly like yours. Mine is still screwed to a piece of the wooden head, I tossed it in my can o' crap! LOL I think yours is a little older than mine. Confederate flag looks like it had enamel paint on it that came off. Nice finds.

I love relics too, although my wife hates the big collection of "junk" that I have stored. Nice finds.

Re: Some recent finds, some old

I am reading, "The history of XXX County Georgia." Here is an excerpt:

"The following description of events behind the lines during the war between the states was written by the wife of a confederate veteran.......

Then the sad leave-taking. In lieu of button-hole bouqets hearts were too sad for flowers- the boys in gray had miniature flags presented by ye ladie fair, a kind of talisman. The train moved out with loud huzzas and banners gay."


Now in the text she doesn't say whether the small flag was metal or cloth, but she calls it a talisman. Do you think the little metal flag in my pic is one of those?
