Thanks Bunker!!! Actually I tried to find it on the computer & came up with nothing so far :dontknow:
 
That's a neat find! :icon_thumleft:

The 1937 Wichita Directory says the New Wellington Hotel was located at 117 S. Main.
 
I bet they paid with a Silver 3c. piece :wink:....Cool tag :icon_thumright:
 
That's one gorgeous tag man! :icon_thumright:
I wonder how long the hotel was around for and when it went out of business? :icon_scratch:
 
Thanks guys for looking!!!! I also would like to know when this hotel opened :dontknow: Hopefully before 1937 :laughing7:
 
Awesome find Congratulations :icon_thumleft:

Wow, pretty neat find. I think it was a key fob. Pretty neat.. If lost it could be mailed back
to the hotel.
