CW Conn. store card, Seated, Standing, S.F. F.O.E. '11 badge

got out to a trashy, sorta recent cellar hole today with a friend. right off the bat, i got this cool civil war store card reading "A.W. Wallace's Variety Bakery, Bridgeport, Connecticut," and a funky badge from the Fraternal Order of Eagles 1911 San Francisco Grand Aerie, and then didn't get much the rest of the day. nice to go coast-to-coast with esoterica like this in one hunt. also got the lock and buckle at this site, and about fifty broken pewter spoon bowls.
the slq and seated dime are from two different hunts from the last coupla days. the seated dime sounded like an indian head penny, and i was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't.
i threw all the other silver and dirty pennies from the week out with the broken spoons or something. no, actually they're in a coffee can on top of the fridge that i never look in, but occasionally heft with glee. such are the pleasures one finds when the older ladies play coy.

Wow, great assortment of goodies. I love any token, medal or fob with a date or name that let's you do more research. Your SLQ is really nice too. Looks like a great site, let us know what else you come up with.

Love the token! And that's a super nice SQL.

I'm with Kilmer on the finds that have names and/or dates. I really enjoy researching the old items.

thank you all for the kind words. i've been trying to find a match online for the f.o.e. badge/pendant/fob, but haven't yet nailed it. there are some similar examples on the f.o.e.'s website, though. i did find a picture of a meeting of the f.o.e. in san fran in 1911. perhaps my badge is in the photo somewhere...
couldn't grab the photo, so here's the link, if you've got some time on your hands. scroll 11 or so pages down.
