I know I dont post that often, but I thought I would share this find with everyone today. It is a Captain Midnight Flight Patrol pin I found in an old school yard. It says Skelly on it which I guess was a sponser of the radio show for one year before Ovaltine picked it up in 1940.

Before.

After I rinsed it off with water.

Here is a silver cross I found as well.

Here is a Youtube clip of a silver quarter I found with Bacon, to make up for my lack of posts. (I know I say "uhhh" a lot, but that is what happens when you fix computers/program all day, brain fry)




Be sure to drink your Ovaltine

Excellent Find :thumbsup:

Love those recovered toys of years gone by.
 

Neat pin... My buddy found a Skelly Captain Midnight decoder badge the other day, & a week earlier the spinner... Wonder if there was anything else in the Captain Midnight line of Skelly give-aways?

There might be. I googled it to find out what it was, but I didn't see too much. A couple of badges, pins, 2 coins and a ring I think. I didn't look that hard though. I think they only were sponsors for a year, but I could be wrong.....
 

Like the pin!
