Never seen these.

Both found on the same very trashy property just south of downtown Raleigh.
I only found 1 clad quarter on the site.

The Token says Hardees Fun Machine Coin of which iv`e only been able to find plastic ones on-line.
Any ideas on a date?

The other is a printing plate? Very heavy like it contains lead.
I can read North Carolina at the top and at the bottom walton?
No clue what this could be any help on either item would be greatly appreciated.

I think some of the old Hardees had game machines that would dispense a small toy for a token. Tony

Zinc printing plate.

 

[B|lker]

Thanks for your reply Tony still waiting for a pic of one.
I cleaned mine with water and a medium toothbrush and it now looks worse

Lucas This is to heavy for just zinc.
I`m guessing its of a pewter composition.
Trying to photograph the back now.

Thanks for your reply`s guy`s.

Very cool.

Check out these newer tokens.
Yours is from the 70's I believe.
Very cool indeed.

Hardees started right down the road from here

4-H great info. Who would have known Hardees started in NC.

Lucas sorry i thought pewter was zinc and lead but it`s lead and tin.

Hold the printing plate up to a mirror to read it.

Hold the printing plate up to a mirror to read it.

Or either take a clear close up of it 'as is,' and I can reverse the image. I can read about 15% of it now, but if we had a sharp pic, I think we can ID it. Breezie

oldsledz those pics were taken in the mirror. Thanks for your idea.
I even tried running a pencil on paper.


Breezie i took about 10 photos and heres the best.
The letters look like there pretty warn.
Thanks in advance if you find out something about it.

I know i`ll never give up trying to figure it out.
Bill FYI it weighs 4.04 oz`s

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I tried googling your lead printing plate when you first posted it but I couldnt find a match. Mirror is not necessary.

IN NORTH CARO(LINA)
makers everyday use
for good reason too--"
?? says ?? house(wife)
?? with a busy ??





It seems to be an advertisement for Wende?? and the product is mentioned twice.

Maybe WondeR simply add WondeR quickly

 

[Breezie]

There is a city close to Raleigh named Wendell, which might be part of the name. I'm thinking it also could be 'Wondella.' The bottom name looks like WALTON RICE MILL.

Good catch. Its something for a housewife to do with rice maybe.

Look at the 2nd time the product is mentioned. It looks like an 'r,' so it could be WONDERICE? Whatever the ICE letters are in the name, could be the ICE part of the company name. After looking at it, I don't think it sounds like a food product, but more like a cleaning product.

I think the word that is on the other side of the plate in front of 'makers' is home makers.

If we can figure out the word behind NO, then we'll know what product it could be. It looks like NO ploling or NO sloling.

[timekiller]

How about pooling for the one word?
And MCE for the other inquestion?
may have something to do with media?
Could be from http://www.waltontribune.com/

 

[Lucas]

I found quite a lot of references to Walton Rice Mills and Wonder Rice (WondeRice?). But most are AR, not NC.

 

[timekiller]

Yea I really don't know could be alot of things! Just thought I'd through some other things in the mix might not be at all

No peelling, no...??, simply add WondeRice!!!

 

[Woodland Detectors]

That is certainly interesting. Very cool finds neighbor!

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I think its No pealing. What kind of food preparation would require pealing? Maybe its a paint additive.

Maybe its an advertisement to eat more rice and less potatoes.
