What does the first item say on it?
New Brown Motel / Mcminnville<town i live in / #358

I thought it said Hotel or Motel. It is a Room key tag, probably either room 358 or third floor room 58. I have no idea on the second or third pieces though, although the third piece looks strangely familiar.

Thanks .Do you know if it would be worth anything? Or should i just give to the people that do the history of our city?

Usually they are not worth anything monetarily unless it was something from a very well known place, although there are collectors for this type of exonumia. I would say it is priceless to the history of your city though. I always make sure that anything I find that is related to my town gets its proper recognition and display for the locals. You should be able to find out quite a bit about that hotels history to go along with your key tag. :thumbsup: Great find, BTW. :headbang:

The star tag is awesome :headbang:
The 3rd item reminds me of the old 'roll off' food tin lids.
I remember Canadian Salmon, as well as Sardines (from Sardinia :-\ ) in them.

Is that two separate items in Item 2, or is it pics of front and back?

Great find! :icon_thumright: I love finding local items like that. Here is a hotel baggage tag that I found this past year. These things depending on age, place, & rarity could be worth some big bucks. From my understanding these were attached to your luggage.

May I say - love your avatar GK ;D I remember catching snowflakes as a kid :icon_thumleft:
Please, could you take some pics of the unidentified finds, with a darkish background, if possible in Natural light and with the same steady hand we see in the pre-displayed pics :headbang:

Cheers, Mike

#2 looks brass? Does it have the kind of heft a hoe would? And by "hoe," I mean the cultivating kind.
