Did you say token?

[Hughett]

Today’s goodies
An old hinge, some buttons, A button looking thing with a long stud “I’m thinking hat pin”


Some clad, a luxor compact, and a two face skull charm.


And for you token nerds “and you know who you are”

An Alabama luxury tax token.
BOOM! Mic drop

Your hat pin item may likely an old roofing type nail. Also by chance does your hinge have a WH on the backside behind the three mounting holes?

 

[Hughett]

Yes it does. Why?

 

[villagenut]

I happened to have a pair of identical ones that I dug way back when. I posted them here on T net for the identity of WH or HM but the best guess was a foundry mark.

Your “hat pin” is a roofing nail. I’ve dug a bunch of them. That’s not necessary a bad thing to find - It shows that your likely on an old home site. 1900s

Way to go on the tax token! I’ve found a million Washington tokens but never an Alabama one.

Yeah I googled it with no luck so far. I didn’t even clean the back until you said something. Thanks!

Nice one! I’m still waiting to find a cool one that isn’t modern car wash or arcade. At the park last weekend I found a “Ortho-Bling!” Token from a local orthodontists with their website on it lol! Plus crusty old change is always good you never know what’ll pop out next. Keep up the hunt!

Yes it is an old mill neighborhood. The house has those old fancy tile Roofs.

Luxury tax huh, thought we had it bad here in “Taxachusetts”

 

[smallfoot]

Wow, looks like the compact was complete with rouge...is that what I'm seeing?

 

[Reanm8er]

Nice finds Hughett! Are you sure that "compact" isn't a condom tin? About the right size! Best wishes!

Yeah. The only thing missing was the hinge pin.

What I thought at first then I opened it and the poof thing was inside.

Have you ever heard the expression "So sore I couldn't touch it with a powder puff!" LOL

 

[Hughett]

My next question is “what is Alabama luxury?”.

LOL! Now I have.
