One big shoe

[ticm]

And this horse must of been a monster. Biggest one I dug up. That little car is heavier for its size. Anyone know the maker? There are no marks on it. I thought that one Franc coin was a token when I dug it. Don't know what it's made of, but it's seems pretty crappy. Got a 1898 IH and a 40 something wheat. Dug up the doll with that round disk thing with the hinge on it.


























Thanks

Forgot this cap thing. Any ideas what this was for?

That's a big shoe for sure! I can help on a couple things, the French coin is aluminum, it was actually valuable enough to use as coin metal once, and might be again soon if things keep up. The little car reminds me of the original Volkswagons, too bad it's not marked, I though Hubley at first but they marked everything as far as I know anyway......

The cap I'm almost positive is an early Daimler Benz hubcap, from an early spoke wheel. Possibly off a truck. I found a pic online with two of them kind of in the background and they weren't id'd, but I'm sure that's what it is.

Thanks for the info.. I never would have guessed that cap was car related.

May be a horseshoe for a Clydesdale.

Hi ticm, Your little green slush-molded car was made by the Barclay toy company during the 1950's. They were out of Union City, New Jersey, and made metal soldiers, cars, and all manner of metal toys from the mid 1930's to the early 1960's. Great find! Sub

The cap is from an old Dodge Brothers (DB) car. It is the bearing grease cap on the wheel. Probably 1930's-1940's. Before Chrysler
bought them.

 

[jewelerguy]

yes the hub cab is Dodge Brothers. it dates to the 20's and is from wood spoke wheels

 

[NOLA_Ken]

Ah Dodge Bros.... That makes sense.

LOL most likely not a big resale in the 20's.

The one Franc is from France and it is made of Aluminum. They did this due to WW2 if im not mistaken. That coin is one of the first coins my Granfather gave me when i was a kid and have to this day along with all the others. Nice finds !
