Today I got a chance to get back to my "supper sweet turn of the 19th century picnic site". Signals are getting fewer but still managing to find some goodies. [/SUB] image.jpg Coins are a 1917 Lincoln, 1898,97,94 IHs. Also a 1894 v nickel and last a 1900 s barber dime. image.jpg Picked up more assorted glass, looks like small ring missing stone or what ever it was in it. Last what I am guessing is some type of clip for holding up garments like socks or something and a really cool tag with the name ( F. GASTEL JR. HAMMOND IND.) I think I will look into finding the family. It was nice to get out and make a good find or two again! H.H.!

Pictures got fliped, hope this is better. image.jpg

I found a Frank Gastel Jr. living in Indiana Harbor (witch is near Hammond) in 1911. Possibly same guy? :icon_scratch:

I looked into the clip item and its is called a "wizard clip" patted Oct. 7th 1899- Nov. 7th 1902. Says its a clip men used for holding detachable cuffs and collars to shirts. Also sugestes these were used to cheet in card games with one end cliped to sleeve and other cliped to card. Thanks for the comments H.H!
