Letters & Tags (and another hemweight)

Got out for a short dig today, NeedaCoppa.
Pulled a couple numbered tags, a '44' & a '2 counterstamp 17'
a 'Heinz 57 Varieties' token,
a few more of these brass letters, couple pocketknives,
cool pewter shaker top, 10g shell base,
odd coffin shape perfume case, 'Faoen' by Park & Tilford 1926.
best find of the day, Rosette style Doorstop.
Got a new site for my next search
Thanks for Looking & HH

Very interesting finds today Herbie! I just saw on the weather network that another Nor'easter is going to hit your area by Wednesday night . . . looks to be another major storm!

This is a neat piece . . . this isn't the 10g shell base is it?

Thanks,
Dave

Honest I didn't notice the connotation til you mentioned it,
they are of different widths, t's narrowest to s'es widest, thats how I stacked them.

thanks for your reply, haven't researched these, found within 1/4 mile of 1850 school,
one yesterday, 5 today. from the outlet of a culvert under the road, perfect place to toss your unwanted engagement rings
some kind of spelling game ?

Hello Dave,
The Item you picture is a whatsit, Ive found a few of these in the past
the shot base is just below the marble, it is a 'Winchester #10 New Rival'
Found a full brass case yesterday, an earlier date 'Winchester #10'
think I've recovered 5 10G shells from this site,
obviously an area where goose hunting was popular, my grandfather called his 10G
a 'Goose Gun'
Yep, the snow is coming, gonna try to get out early & sling some mud!
