Took a couple of short hunts for this handful pulled out of old 1800’s farms.

I found another Pittsburgh Railways Token earlier this year, but this one is a different variety from the 1930’s.

This green copper facing left had me stumped for a bit. Normally when they are really smooth and green they are a KG, but not this time.

The back is totally smooth. Finally figured it out as an 1860’ish Victorian Penny called a Bun Head.

It is 30mm vs a KG around 24mm. It definitely seems like it was in circulation?

This totally intact 1915’ish razor was pretty cool.

Potentially my first old marble, any ID help appreciated.

And a tag that Jeff of PA likes to think is a bit evil.

Any ideas on this one?

Here is the handful.

And of course fulfilling my job as spoon eradication expert.

The marble is glazed pottery, pretty common but still a cool find. Probably mid-late 1800s to 1930s or so. There were some mass producers of these and they shipped them all over the country. Cool finds! (except the evil one lol) :D
