I showed up at the old factory this morning... No waiver, just a super nice guy that said " have fun " !

The first thing I found ( which was really weird ) was what looks like a very big diaper pin.... I don't know. A key and a couple coins. Not much so I moved on to old farm house. Found another key there and a little bit more. Moved to a park and found a pocket spill. The item I like the most has to be the big pin :)

Looks like an old pin for a hunting license cover for on the back of your coat.
 

Good job. My thought would be maybe a kilt pin?

That's a thought. I also remember back in the day before they used 2 small pins on each side of a diaper, they made 3 folds in front and used one large pin... But you have me wanting to look up kilt pins now :)

That could be possible... Thanks

Look like a wrap around skirt pin to me.
 

Some people use them for their keys. Also, when I was younger, I worked for a laundry company that used them for their laundry bags.

It was confirmed by my own mother that she used the exact same thing on me and my siblings when we were babies. Every bit that big ! One on each side of diaper. Wow :O lol

Ive heard several comments recent that babies seem to be walking at younger ages .......now we know why.
