I seem to struggle with the Nox and the highly saturated moisture we have had recently, 12” of snow does not help...

Here’s the handful of oldies.

Good luck out there!

Nice handful Thad. One of the nicer brewery tokens I've seen. What do you think the large Pittsburgh piece is, some kind of license?
 

Those are some mighty fine relics! That Pittsburg dog tag is awesome.

Thx Steve! I read the Char Valley Brewery eventually became the Duquesne Brewery which are more common. The Pittsburgh piece appears to be a license, 1916 at the bottom. Thinner brass than the other chauffeur licenses I’ve found.
 

Too big for a dog tag.

Unless he has giant fingers, the tag only appears to be 2 inches long or so, which isn't too big for an older dog tag. Here is a 1937 version, and it is about the same length and has basically the same information and order of presentation.
