Went up the road today, after a long awaited rain, to check out the play area across from the church. Not exactly a "tot lot". There is an old back stop for a baseball field. This is 1/2 mile off the existing FM road (in TX. means farm to market road) down the dirt/gravel county road.
We are supposed to be getting a new black top for the first 2 miles of the old county road that goes on down by our place. The new road right of way and part of the road will go right thru this play area, so no one says squat about any digging going on here. I still cover my digging, however. To not do so is just not right.
On to my few finds. Only found 9 coins...2 dimes 1996 and 1965 and one 1967 penny. The rest were all wheaties. 1915, 1919, 1936, 1939, 1940 d, 1945 d. There has got to be some old silver here, I just need to keep after it, and I will.
Also found a marble cut in half...weird, mower got it no doubt.
And now to a neat token I found that dates to 1926-28.
It is difficult to discern on one side although the other side is fairly clear. Someone drove a nail through it. Here is what it says...
Front...
Good 4 one cake Crystal Cocoa soap free when you buy one cake Palmolive Soap
Back...
4 dealers this check will be redeemed at your retail price when conditions on the reverse side have been fulfilled. The Palmolive-Peet Co. Chicago
I googled Palmolive-Peet Co. and found that from 1926-1928 the comp had this name. Then was added Colgate. I also found a token similar to this for sale, but it reads slightly different
than the one I found.
These strange tokens and relics are almost more fun to find than coins. Well, until you get into some real silver , that is.
Thanks for viewing,
