The name tag is a piece of political memorabilia from Benjamin Harrison's Presidential campaign of 1888, and a really great find!

Great batch of finds!

Timex: "takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin"
I used to live down the street where they were made and wore a bunch of them back in the day. Built like tanks, but not very waterproof.

I bet the folks in Middlebury would love to do a feature on that watch. Give them a holler.

What a great hunt!
One of the best assortments I've seen
The Harrison is in great shape, not often is the enamel intact on something that old.
Congrats on an awesome haul

Wow, that's a great assortment of some really cool stuff. WTG!

 

[The Swed Hunther]

I must say that clocks in that time is better that those today! I did find a wind up watch on another hunt, and that one worked to, but this one was a Mondia.
The name tag is in a good shape and an odd object indeed. too bad the Ferrari was flat Happy Hunting Tuff!
