Finally! Some seated. And probably the coolest thing I've ever found...



She's a little rough...but still beautiful in my eyes.



A well worn Indian Head Penny.

And probably the coolest thing I've ever found...



Some kind of a Pocket Almanac that allows you to determine the time of sunrise and sunset by choosing the month and day by moving a lever. (The lever is stuck obviously.) Didn't know what I had 'til I got home and cleaned it up. Cannot find anything on-line about it so am curious to age, but I'm sure it's antique.

Penny for reference...



And a brass thimble.

Today's finds...

That "Perpetual Almanac " piece is very cool - I'm guessing Circa 1920's - 30's - I don't believe I've ever seen one before - should be
able to research that online - ebay ? I would be stoked with the Seated and the IH !

I only saw two entries for you item in a Google search. Neither had much information but the images give an insight as to what your piece's original appearance had been.

Very nice finds. I have no seated coins, so that one really looks good to me. GL&HH.

 

[wvdirtdigger]

Great finds!! Gotta love days like that!

 

[Old Dude]

That really is cool! Don't think I had ever seen one. I think that seated is pretty darned nice too. Hopefully I can find one. Nice Indian

 

[beez0404]

A seated coin and a relic not commonly seen. Now that makes for a great day of hunting. Congrats!

 

[Davers]

What's the Date on the IH?

A great hunt indeed.

Love the almanac! It's so small though, the size of a penny! With something so small it's no wonder they didn't catch on, I'm sure using and reading it would be quite the challenge!

Perhaps a watchmaker can repair the mechanism? I bet that'd be a costly challenge as well. I think I'm the right auction given it's rarity a working one would do much better than $50.
