So continiuing on in cleaning out the truck from the Sandy Hunts as desribed in Part 1, here are all of the assorted beach relics and different glass items.
.
It's a very interesting assortment of older items that mostly were churned up from the Atlantic Ocean
Beach Relics & Assorted Munitions :
The unusual little beach shoe I found at the top of the high tide mark about 2 weeks after Sandy...It is made of all rubber and for some reason I just had a feeling it was something older, so I put it in my jacket..
Turns out from my research that it appears to be from the 1920's or 30's..
The imprinting inside reads:
Health-Gard
Anti-Acid Rubber
Neutralizes Perspiration
Made By Climax Rubber Co. U.S.A.
Climax was an automobile tire manufacturing company that operated out of Columbus. Ohio back in the 1920's-30's...At first I thought that it couldn't be that old, but then I realized something...Just look at the design imprinted on the shoe...The bathers are all wearing the old school tank top beachwear...Bingo !!
Also found was a large assortment of older Shotgun Shell Headstamps most likely dating from the early 1900-s to the 1950's , by many different manufacturers and in many diff gauges..
Next up is a large assortment of different calibur bullets and shell casings..I'm not too well versed in ammunition, so unless someone can identify them, I do not really know their ages or type of gun...Any help would be appreciated...
Two very cool older items are the large piece of copper sheathing from the hull of an old ship and the large piece of a very old ship spike...
An old metal Milk Cap probably from the 50's-60's
An old metal Retco Co Phila Pa. Big Chief One Quart Liquid Can Top
The rest are assorted brass pieces, two newer spoons and a pile of keys ..
Bottles & Seaglass:
With some help from some members I think we have identified the two complete bottles..
Clear Bottle is a Tru Ade Non Carbonated Soda Bottle dating from the late 50's to to 1960's
Green Bottle is a Sparkle Up or 7 Up Bottle from the late 50's to 1960's
Coke Bottle is from Charlotte, NC - age unknown
My favorite piece in the entire picture is actually the half broken aqua-marine bottle..Believe it or not a guest came on another forum last year and asked if anyone knew where to find one of these bottles as it was from their Great Grandfather..Though it is not complete, I actually found one
Jacob Natter Atlantic City, NJ Dating from the late 1880's
Natter was a merchant of Atlantic City, in the inlet area during that time period and had a number of different businesses, which one was a beer brewer...
Very cool history behind it and it is currently a pen and pencil holder on my desk...Wish it was complete, but those are the breaks..I LOVE it !!
The rest are misc pieces of broken sea glass, some with markings and others not...Bromo Seltzer, Dairies, etc...
I don't know about the rest of you all, but this kind of stuff can actually make my hunt just wonderful as I love finding bits of history...Maybe this stuff is not that valuable, but just as rewarding to me as finding gold, silver and any old coins, sometimes even better
Good Luck & Happy Hunting to you all !!!
