Old Homesite Finds...Tootsie Toy car,brass British Spitfire,1936 Half Penny

[Zeke]

A buddy of mine at work went to an old homesite of his familys and found some neat toys. A Tootsie Toy car, a British Spitfire plane that is made of brass, what looks to be a "sconch"(?) the things that ladies put their hair up with and then put a rod or stick thru to hold it, and a 1936 Half Penny. Cant tell the writing on it but the half penny side is in English....the other side with a bust of a man isnt.

Any help with the age and IDs?

George's titles on coins are always in latin, same as 'e Pluribus Unum'

The airplane looks like it could be a 1940's RAF Douglas Bader Spitfire ....

The Spitfires were used in WWII...the toy car looks like the monopoly piece (I know it isn't the same, but it looks like it ), and I like the half penny. I think I'll take it

The sconch thing is actually a decorative piece from the top of an iron gate or fence . The
Crown Iron Works was more than likely the manufacturer. What began as a small blacksmith shop in 1878, on the banks of the Mississippi grew into a huge corporation.

The Toys are from the 1950's. I had some like them when I was A Boy. trk5capt...
