NY&CMSSL button. Great seal buttons, Model T key

found these at a second new site. Based on the finds its early 20th century.

The NY&CMSSL button is from a uniform of the Ward Line New York and Cuba Mail Steamship line. According to www.wardline.com this W with the flag was popular design for the company around the turn of the 20th century. Sadly this company suffered one of the worst sea disasters, the burning of the SS Morro Castle.

this disaster was the beginning of the fall of the Ward Line.




Also found some Great Seal Buttons that strangly both have keyring type loops on the back, almost like they were keepsakes.

High Grade Imperial fertilizer fob

And a Model T car key on a keyring with 56 on the key.

Have yet to pull any silver or coins of any kind from this site, but hoping the're down there.

Thanks for looking and HH

Excellent finds I like the fob.

Thanks

I'd like to clean it up a bit, but afraid if I try anything drastic or submerge it in anything the white part of IMPERIAL may come off
