Penna RR Co. Lead seal, '63 IHP, silver, chape shoe Buckle

Had a chance to hit an older spot. Found a bunch of goodies ranging from a '63 Indian Head to '64 Roosie

My favorite was a Pennsylvania RR bale seal in real nice condition. It's difficult to tell the age so if anybody knows about "Penna RR Co. No. 16 NY" please let me know. I would think the date for this ranges from 1908-1920's, when Penn station was taking Pennsylvania RR traffic... Dunno really...

Finds are slowing down here but it was nice to score a few goodies. The Model T hubcap was a fun surprise. Also the double chape shoe buckle piece was a nice colonial (ish) find, and the only one of the day. The half cent is in the pic for sizing

Hi, love the seal. They are also used as car door seals on railroad cars(from what I've read.) I've found only one, on a battlefield lost by a soldier. Looks like a site with some good, old potential.

Thx. The seal has me intrigued for certain. I'm hoping someone one here has some knowledge. I've found a lot of lead seals and this one seems "new" ie. early 1900's.

Yeah, I threw that HC in for you George. Everyone uses quarters for sizing so I thought I'd mix things up! Lol
