[thrillathahunt]

Ok, just one more today...I promise. I found this yesterday also.....It measures a whopping 4 1/4 inches! What the heck was this used for

Even with discrimination it was a solid hit.

Our state parks here in SC gave you a pin like that with a number on it when you checked your clothes at the swimming areas. Tony

It is a pin that welders use to hold their strikers (used for lighting torches). They have been in use for many years and are still being sold today... Neat to have...chetler
