On a roll!

Well, in short, i went to a hunting camp/ cellar hole and found the following:

A compact; "Elgion(spelling?) American" and "made in U.S.A.", any idea of age;value?/ dinged with shovel badly/ my first compact/ 4 inch diameter
10 magnum bullet casings
2 pellet gun casings
toy shovel
5 bullets i think they were shot in the air; two hit eachother, cool find( back right corner)
clad

Any help appreciated ( i already googled and nothing, however, i only look a bit, even a good guess at age is great)

Hey there!

Your compact is probably by "Elgin". They made compacts mostly I think from the 1920s through the 1940s. I'm not exactly sure of that timeline, however.

I think you on to something, just keep on working that site and it will pay off!

you might be right..it's hard to read that fancy cursive on a corroded disk

Good start, keep looking deeper, And a question.....What are you calling a pellet gun casing? Pellet guns don't use casings, but I see two .22 hulls in your picture. Good luck. Monty
