As I have mentioned before, I've never found the big$$$$ stuff but I have found some interesting stuff. You folks keep encourging me to post it so....Here is some car stuff:

1.Reo hub cap, would have been a big signal but it was sitting on top of the ground. Had a hard time locating it as I was using it to hold wheatbacks. I like the Essex Motor emblem. The quarter I found in my car seat.

2. I have found 150+ matchbox car once in a while I've found a few pre-match box car. I bet those kids were far more upset then those who bury their match box cars at the beach. The last car is a jack knife.

3. Those of you from Maine know about these tags (if your old enough). Every year you got a metal tag to attach to your license plate. I guess the State realized how easy it was to switch it back and forth between Ma and PA 's Car.

Cool finds. I love the touring car.

The REO hub cap is nice. Any idea what era the hub cap is from? Looks a little art decoish to me so maybe '30s? The same man that founded REO put his name on the Oldsmobile.
