Hello All,
Had some down time today and decided to hunt my back lawn. Found two really interesting things.
The first thing that I found was a buggy plate from a company called Henney Buggy Co and it looks like it was produced
specifically for a company in San Francisco called Frank Brothers. I see that the Henney Company was named this way
from 1879 - 1912, but I am trying to date my plate specifically and if I can find out when Frank Brothers went out of business
then I can narrow it down to a range.
The complete plate reads the following-
Manufactured ByHenney Buggy Co, Freeport, ILL
For Frank Bros San Francisco, ca
Here is a pictures, although it did not come out well-
The second thing I came across looks like it is half of whatever it use to be and appears to be a casting of a bird or an eagle and made out of metal,
if anyone has any ideas on what this might be I would certainly appreciate the help in trying to figure it out. Tomorrow and I am gong to try and find the 2nd half of it in my lawn.
Here are some pics
Thanks for looking at my stuff and trying to help out.
