Emptying trash pocket today of the nailpouch used on a hunt near Croton earlier this year,this what had appeared to be junk metal had writing on the side I did not look at.
1926 Chauffeurs. A first for me.

That's awesome! Ive come to searching everything very thoroughly. Ive found several items I first thought was trash that turned out to be good finds. You never know whats hiding under the dirt and corrosion. Congrats!

On my list. Always check before pitching in the trash

Way cool relic! Still on my wish list. WTG!

I always give things a quick rinse in the laundry tub before throwing things out. Almost missed a (torn) Model T ignition plate when I was newbie by not checking things closely.
