Allis Chalmers watch fob, bottles, carrier, relics and 1 penny

[IronSpike]

Today Michaelangelo and I went back to the spot in the woods we hunted earlier this year. We found a few more former home sites and even a neat old tobacco barn. Lots of bottles and glass on the surface (many late 40's - 50's) so we picked up a few. Mike found the one and only coin for the day being a 1919 wheat penny. The Allis Chalmers watch fob is from 40's.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting

Lots of nostalgia there

My brother had one of those "Thingmakers" Creepy Crawler sets back in the '60's

Those 3 mattel molds are from a toy called Creepy Crawlers? I think,use to have the kit, I think it's in the attic. I'm going up there tomorrow to see if I can find it.

IS,
What a great bunch of unusual finds! The FOB is a super find, and so is that Coke carrier. Great shape.
I remember those molds too from the 60's. Creepie Crawlers and Incredible Edibles, we had them all as kids. Haven't seen those in a coons age.
Thanks for the great post & pictures,
Doug

Hi IronSpike,

Good vintage loot. I like a wide-mouth milk bottle. Is it embossed? It must be from the 30's. Great Cola carrier and a fob!!!

I agree with WC on the nostalgia. I had that same set...not sure of the "Creepy Crawler" name, but I made many flowers with it.

The Coca-Cola Bottle carrier and the Log cabin stand out in this post. I want that log cabin in my backyard. That is really neat looking. I think you bottle caddy is collectable.

I really like finding watch fobs and enjoying all the different merchant and manufacturer information they can carry, along with all of the different imagery.

I like that one; it is like staring down the barrel of a tractor.

I found one of those Old Quaker Bottles myself. It had the cap and still had some stuff in it. Anybody wanna a shot? Just kiddin. Actally that cabin was the nicest find of the day I think.

Thanks for all the comments The barn was a great find and it's funny we didn't notice it the last time we were out at this spot

The milk bottle has print on it and reads Shady Oak Dairy, Guilford College NC.

Here's a good link on the Mattel Thing-Maker:

If you hadn't posted the carrier you found we very well may not have noticed it in the woods. Thanks for posting

You all got into some cool stuff. I like the Coke carrier and the Allis Chalmers fob. I still have my Creepy Crawler Thing Maker in the barn somewhere.
