Americana Relic Found

[neodetectorist]

Managed to swing over a keeper. A token from the 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair. It was called a ?Ford Dollar?. This is an amazing piece of history and surprisingly had lots of information on it.
The front is a radiator from a 1933 Ford; the words FORD, in script, appear across it. On the left and right are the dates ?1903? and ?1933?. The reverse shows a monogram of ?V-8? inside of an open wreath. Above the wreath is ?THIRTY YEARS?, below is OF PROGRESS.

LOTS of trash and a few wheaties also.

The token cleaned up pretty well.

Neat find. The Ford Motor Co. is definitely part of Americana. Gary

Cleaned up very well indeed!Did you know that Clyde Barrow once wrote a letter to the Ford Motor Co.extolling the virtues of the Ford V8?My Mom once said my mind was a vast storehouse of useless knowledge.I loved her any way.
