I found this stuff while managing a small town Landfill. It always amazed me what people would throw away.

In the early 1960's, I managed a town landfill for the construction contractor I worked for. I was always amazed at what people would throw away.
Here are a few items I just re-found. TreasureNet may not have been around back then.

The 1900 Bryant & May match case is on ebay for 99.00

The silver plate tray is from W.S.P.CO marked 3796.

It was a shame the lead toy rifle had the bayonet broken off when I found it. I filed it to shape and lost some patina. Back then, I didn't know anything about patina

Two lovely pass keys. Not to be confused with skeleton keys.

And of course...The key hole.

Crazy the things people toss just think of all the change and money also people toss away
