After coming home and researching a couple items I had found, I am pleasantly surprised & happy with today's finds. I found a 1929 wheatie, an old Gillette razor blade tin and a railroad luggage tag.
The tin has some writings but they are faint. On the top it has "Gillette Blades" and the side has "Gillette" with an arrow running through it and "Trade" on the left side and "Mark" on the right. Then just below that it has "Known the world over." Not sure how old it is.
Then my other nice find is an old luggage tag. From the research I've done, I believe the tag is from 1866-1877. I know J. Robbins is the maker and the railroads listed are the Philadelphia & Baltimore Railroad-Wilmington & Reading Railroad.
