Went to an old club site today and found my second silver coin ever... in a week to boot. A 1918 silver half.
Also an old buckle, gun hammer (toy?),a key tag #45 by where a bathhouse was, a 1920's rouge container(pompeian bloom) Thought it was a pocket watch.., a Redhead Triumph No. 12
shot gun shell. As I was leaving. I talked to a neighbor who said that the military used to do maneuvers there as well. Can't wait to go back !

Yah that Walker is beautiful!!
 

Awesome find!!!!!
 

Thank you ! It's a no mint mark. I read that it means Philadelphia. The gun hammer is old. Could be a toy. Has a "4" by the pivot pin. The buckle reminds me of military. It has the web belt style clamp. The red head triumph shell was made by Federal for Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards. Last of the paper shells. The rouge container is dented. Very ornate and has a mirror inside. I haven't opened it. Not wanting to break it.. but, whats inside ? lol.. It was made between 1928-30. HH my friends
