Greetings!
The sun came out today and the snow has been melting, so I ran out for a few hours and headed back to the "Spoon Graveyard."
My last two trips there haven't been as productive (last hunt's highlights were another nice crotal bell and a pair of ornate old sugar tongs); now that I've pounded it a bunch of times I'm going to have to really slow down and grid it out from this point forward. However, today I did manage to snag this neat old badge or token -- it seems silver plated, and is for the "Crescent Club" of Brooklyn, NY. I did some research and found it was an athletic club that operated in Brooklyn from the late 1800s through the 1950s. If anyone can give me a clearer dating (and any insight as to the ram design) please let me know. It's about the size of a half-dollar. Pretty cool little find.
Enjoy!
Cheers and HH,
Brendan
