Re: Hey guys and gals

Yep, Got one myself. The Swastika was a goodluck symbol of course prior to the Hitler era. So these would date around 1920 or so. Nice find. jgas

The salt token is the thing that interests me. Never seen or heard of that brand. May be common around where you live, not here.You might want to research that one.
Nice.

I found one of those salt tokens last fall around my father's barn. So they must be somewhat common?
