Found some more treasure today,the revolvers were a ball of rust,They are not cap guns,but,I question their being real.Any gun people out there?A cool old corker I call them,from behind an old woolen mill built in 1829,I'd say someone from the mill was nipping and tossed it of the side,it was laying on top of the ground.The Traveling Teller Automatic Recording Safe Co.lid?And a 39 merc that put a smile on my face! God Bless HH Chris

Nice Finds Chris!
Handguns are a yet for me!
Is that 'traveling safe' piece aluminum or plated brass?
I have recovered a few of the oval 'Counting banks', one had a wheat cent in it :laughing7:
Two were pried open, one from a bank still operating.
appear to all be the same design, only way to retrieve money without breaking them was to bring them to the bank, & hopefully deposit the funds....
here's pix of one...
Nice bottle & bit o Silver! Congrats & HH to ya :thumbsup:
Herbie,It's aluminum. TICKS are still active,little savages!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks Chris,
Never saw am aluminum version, I looked in my brass box, & have 3 in various conditions, one still has the steel counting mechanism somewhat intact.
Aluminum was a 'Space age' material during the period.
latest tick count: Me three, Morris one :wink:
 
Good finds! Love the old bottle!
