The newest Chinese Railroad labor camp was fast and fun. Although it was small it still gave up some neat relics, including some chinese coins and some nonmetal relics as well. A first for me (as far as Chinese labor camps go) was an open top adjustable thimble.

Thanks for looking,

Rice bowl, Bamboo pattern this is the most complete one I have found with half still missing. Most everything in these camps were used as target practice at one time or another. same goes for the broken opium bowls above.
