Thanks Rick and thanks to everybody's kind remarks. We are lucky guys to be able to go out and save American history like this.

Re: Gold, Silver, & Relics

Some cool stuff. Love the A buttons and the census badge. The W&L tag might be a key fob from a motel or something. It seems like there was a Washington Lee Motel in Fredericksburg but I wouldn't swear to it. There is one off Rt 3 near Montross.

Thanks yank, I thought Washington and Lee was a college Hmm, a key fob sounds right too Those A buttons are beauties, found 6 feet apart but with 2 different backmarks... probably on the same coat but one must have been a replacement

Re: Gold, Silver, & Relics

Congrats on some great finds.

Washington and Lee is a University. I found a very similar watch fob that read Roosevelt 1904 Fairbanks Washington. This was from the 1904 presidential election. A fellow t-netter gave me a matching watch fob that read Parker 1904 Davis Washington which was from the losing candidates. So I was thinking something to do with an election. The only thing I could find was that pertained to Washington and Lee in 1907 was a visit by William Jennings Bryan. This is also the year the school started doing mock political conventions to pick the presidential candidates. They have picked them correctly 18 out of 23 times....not too bad.

Just some food for thought....most likely just a watch fob from the school for students to buy.
