I Luv New Dirt = Silver and some Cool Relics

[cambria09]

Hello All. New permission last nite after work yielded some great digs.

Got the OK to dig a 1928 small town home site and scored some nice items:
Numerous newer toy cars, a marble, misc clad and hardware, WC, a vintage pressure gauge (my 2nd of this variety), a nice silver pin, and a very cool "Talking Machine" name plate.

I think the name plate was made in Japan because I cannot find one like it on the net and it has some Japanese symbols on it...maybe rare?? I was very stoked to read it especially with the well known "HIS MASTER'S VOICE" image engraved on it.

Much more area yet to excavate...hopefully will find more postable items.

Thanks for the view and Good Luck. C9

Hello BWD. Did that but my serial number is not defined. There is reference to ones built in Japan that indicates little is known about them.

Thanks for the reply and may the finds be with you. C9

Your Victor Victrola-IV data plate is from a small table top machine that is American made & sold in the US ...........a very common lower-end machine.

Hello IFT. Yes after more looking I found the same info but still confused re the Spanish text and oriental symbols...maybe included for patent protection overseas?

Thanks for the reply and information. Got a friend in Minden, IA. GO HAWKEYES?!...unless they are playing THE GATORS!

Good Luck. C9
