First Token and Lucky at that

[mchamby]

I detected at a private home today, it has a very small yard but is rich in history. It was one of the underground railroad homes, in its time. There used to be a fountain in the side yard, it was a little black boy and when water came out it meant coast is clear but it there was no water flowing it meant stay away not safe. For the history of the place I was a little disappointed but I am still happy with what I found. I got my first token and it says carry this lucky key token in your Adler Rochester clothes. On the back it says Adler Rochester clothes and I can't make out what it is a pic of but the front is a four leaf clover. I also found another Indian, 1904 yippy. I found 5 wheaties, 1911, 1909, 1945, 1956D, 1958D. I found a neat piece of brass pipe with designs on it, an old button, Iron know with designs on it, lead pcs, threaded pipe, and other odds and ends. I had a good time and the weather was tolerable.

Neat stuff, Mchamby! I really like the Adler-Rochester key tag.

The earliest date for it would be 1922, when Levy Bros. Clothing Co. merged with L. Adler Bros. & Co. to form Levy Brothers & Adler-Rochester, Inc., manufacturing their medium-priced clothing line under the "Adler-Rochester" label. Adler-Rochester was eventually absorbed by Michaels Stern & Co. in 1951
