Todays construction site and farm finds

Mike95inNJ · Jan 9, 2008

Got back out today for awhile since I'm on vacation. The first place was a construction site. Most of the dirt had been moved around quite a bit but I was still able to scan the mounds along the outside of the site. Next I went to a local farm I frequent. The only decent coin I found was a 1920 wheatie. It was killing me digging up three memorial pennies at a 1880's farm site. The toothbrush has a cubscouts logo on it and it fits in the white holder. Also a small compact looking thing that says Princess Pat on it. I have'nt tried to open it yet. The clock key thing is in pretty good shape. Also found another Hartell's glass cover. The porcelain doll figurine was a cool eyeball find. All in all I enjoyed myself.

Not sure if that's a "Kewpie" doll or not... most had that little sprig of hair at the top. But there were variations on them from what I can tell. Regardless, it's very cool!

Congrats on the great finds!!!!

I only knew Kewpie dolls with the hair on it as well. It seems it is indeed some kind of a older kewpie doll. Here's a photo and link. This one I found is alot smaller though.
Take care, Mike

I was thinking the same thing about the doll. I couldn't remember what they were called though... I've seen them on the Antique's Road Show...

Highly collectable if it is...

If ya haven't looked it up yet?, that Princess Pat tin looks to have been made for Rouge (MAKEUP). Here a link to one I found on ebay:

Looks like a great site to hunt.
