Well, Neil got me motivated to clean up some stuff from this past week so as long
as I was rained in, I figured now's as good of a time as any to post a few finds.
(Just keep in mind that beauty is in the eye of the beholder )
I'm sure we've all found a few axe heads during our hunts and most likely either
tried GIVING them to another hunter (and let them carry the weight ) or just
ended up pitching them in one of the trash cans by the car at the end of the hunt.
However, this one I couldn't pass up. It just looked. . . cute. . . in an "older" sort of way.
(Plus, it wasn't too heavy to carry around).
And next to the axe head is something else that I'm sure we've all dug but
probably never taken the time to unfold. The aluminum toppers for all those
broken, "wide-mouth" milk bottles we always see scattered in the woods.
Anyway, here's what a Borden's "Grade A" Irradiated and Pasteurized Vitamin D
Milk topper looks like unfolded. And it has to be sold before Noon on Thursday.
The most rewarding thing I found this past week was a "flattened" oval-shaped
penny from the "Century of Progress" held in Chicago in 1933. It's in rough
shape but it's been something on my wish list for a long time.
In addition to the 1956 Rabies Tag, a 1917 Merc and a 1923 Wheat, is
an enameled pin (military?) with the motto "Up and at 'em" at the bottom.
Has anyone seen one like this?
That's it. . . thanks for looking!
