Spitfire Reddie · Nov 20, 2006

A 1936 Merc.
a token or a coin (i cant tell)
a metal plate that says REST on it (Creepy !)
a hollow point bullet
a old ford key
finally what once was a pocket folding knife...

Could be the half of a restroom sign. Mens Rest. or something like that.

Grats on that silver!

SR,

very nice group of finds.

Congrat on the coin, silver is always
nice.

That sign is a bit "creepy!"

Like to know more on the coin/token when
you get it cleaned up a bit.

Again, nice finds.

have a good un.............

Nice Mercury Dime indeed!

That plate with 'rest' marked on it could be a calling card rest from the Victorian era. It looks to be about the right size.
Calling cards were left when a person visited the home of another, to pay condolences, chat, do business, etc. They would have a silver or silver-plated "rest" (or plate-type holder) in the shape of a calling card so that a visitor could leave her card on a table upon leaving. That's my guess as to what your find is, anyhow. Those Victorians had special items for every imaginable use!

Those are cool finds...go find theother half of that little plate ...its driving me crazy LOL....Maybe it said "Dearest" Or "Sit and Rest" or possibly....."Where the heck is the Rest"

Reddie, try claening the token in lemon juice, that may help. I'm a token FANatic and just got to know what it is. Thanks, Dayton Digger

gypsyheart always has something humorous or helpful in her posts. By the way congrats on the merc as well.

Nice silver. It may be a key to a '36 Merc.

Would love to see a the token when cleaned.
Looks like you had a good day! 8)

I'm drooling over that Merc.I haven't hit silver since August.The old Ford key is a pretty cool find and I'm waiting in suspense about the identity of that yet unknown coin or token.

You had a great day for sure. HH!
