    I thought it said Hotel or Motel. It is a Room key tag, probably either room 358 or third floor room 58. I have no idea on the second or third pieces though, although the third piece looks strangely familiar.

    Usually they are not worth anything monetarily unless it was something from a very well known place, although there are collectors for this type of exonumia. I would say it is priceless to the history of your city though. I always make sure that anything I find that is related to my town gets its proper recognition and display for the locals. You should be able to find out quite a bit about that hotels history to go along with your key tag. Great find, BTW.

    Re: Three Items

    The star tag is awesome
    The 3rd item reminds me of the old 'roll off' food tin lids.
    I remember Canadian Salmon, as well as Sardines (from Sardinia ) in them.

    Is that two separate items in Item 2, or is it pics of front and back?

    Re: Three Items

    Great find! I love finding local items like that. Here is a hotel baggage tag that I found this past year. These things depending on age, place, & rarity could be worth some big bucks. From my understanding these were attached to your luggage.

    May I say - love your avatar GK I remember catching snowflakes as a kid
    Please, could you take some pics of the unidentified finds, with a darkish background, if possible in Natural light and with the same steady hand we see in the pre-displayed pics

    Cheers, Mike

    Also if you look real close around the hole at the top there might be a makers name stamped in it real small. http://www.tagtown.net/makers.html

    #2 looks brass? Does it have the kind of heft a hoe would? And by "hoe," I mean the cultivating kind.
