Been finding some cool stuff and meeting some nice folks for permissions. Here are some of the items I have found that I am unsure of... hoping my fellow t-netters can help identify some of this stuff. 00231BCA-82D5-45B0-A1B5-7CD12E2F20B1.jpeg9B20D330-E7C3-4195-A3B9-DC985E45AF89.jpegA22B9DAD-452D-4B2D-B4ED-68D750FA34D1.jpeg62BDE5C2-9CBC-46E4-B548-0A451066B078.jpegB78E2DE8-058B-4330-B50A-3A115E108D8F.jpegF268CF3F-F151-459A-9614-F8EA5F76B83E.jpegA82C6C40-A328-43F2-BDC4-AAD8DBA8A37A.jpeg6600A6D0-3E60-4786-AF26-F4B3C7819C71.jpeg7D1CEC0E-D563-44AF-AD16-2ED04894CC3F.jpeg the washer with the lines on the edges strikes me as maybe an early lock washer. The item pictured with the ihp appears to me to be a guitar pick... my friend said it looked like a flattened penny but I don’t see any of the penny markings I would expect. The duke tag thing could be duke power maybe? The rectangular compact looking thing would not be as big of a mystery except for the thick layer of iron crust on the back. The scrap of metal with the reverse writing is an odd one...looks like a slate roof ad. found it in a yard of a home that dates back to pre-war of northern aggression. Next, the metal thing with a bi-plane looks like an early key fob. The paper ad is from an old house my buddy owns. I like reading old papers and this ad for the “Cosby special” bed seemed kinda ironic and funny to me. Imagine if Serra hired him today for a bed commercial! Lol! Almost as bad as if he had done a drug commercial. Thanks for looking!

Super finds! The case is a makeup case, probably powder and rouge. Love the key fob!:occasion14:
 

I was going to say your first piece was an 1850's i-phone...but I think Terry nailed it...your serrated washer does appear to be an early version of a lock-washer. All great finds, you've got a great site!..Ddf.
 

Compact and a fob Those are old shoud be silver in there
 

I love the fob with the car and bicycle! Fun finds. Sorry, I don’t recognize the other pieces.
 

Duke University? Your guitar pick is probably a train flattened copper cent. Most of the ones I've found don't have any details on them.
 

Nice relic hunt! :occasion14:
