An Interesting One

Had time for a quick hunt before I took my elderly neighbor to the bank and pharmacy today. 16 cents in clad and a cool letter opener with "El Paso Coffin Co./EPCCO/El Paso, Texas" on it. Pretty neat.

I found a document online from 1920 with the El Paso Coffin Co. listed.

Cast lead. When found , I tried to find reference to the business without any luck....however, after reading your post I googled my turtle and found another relic that dated the business to 1915 - early 20s.
Scripted relics are just the coolest digs.
