Got out for a couple of hours this morning and made a few finds, the most interesting of which was a William Howard Taft 1908 campaign button. It's very light...made of tin. Taft was groomed to be Teddy Roosevelt's successor for the Republican party in 1908 and I guess since Roosevelt had a nickname (Teddy Bear) they felt that Taft needed one too and apparently they decided on "Billy Possum". Flattering, eh? I've included a pic I found on the Net of what a shiny new one would look like. Also found twin '44 Mercs, some buckles, a brass doorknob and the label off of a 1925 HP Hood milk can. Gosh I hope this wasn't my last hunt of the year today. Winter is on it's way!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
