Very cool COCA COLA piece.........Bell / coins and S+J button with crown.

AQUA · Mar 27, 2014

HEY GUYS AND GALS

Out for a hunt today after clearing 12 inches of snow outta the driveway and boat.

Wind was outta the Nortwest at 30 knots and -4c so found a spot where we could get outta of it.

Started off very slow and after 2 hours still nothing much in the pouch except the coins. Then came across a little hot spot..pulling out the J+S button and bell.

Then spotted something sticking outta a big piece of sod that had broken away from the bank...it was the COCA COLA piece...the bottom piece was inside the sod which apparently helped to preserve it ..the other end didn,t fair as well. The whole was fair enough down the shore that it woulda submerged in the saltwater at 3/4 tide.

Appears to be a old stamp as it is backwards and would read correctly when pressed into something.

Any ideas on exactly what the S+J BUTTON and COCA COLA items are would be appreciated !!

OK...nice..thought maybe that was its purpose.....they definitely don,t make things like that nowadays !! Today it is mass produce and do it cheep as possible...no style.

Dunno where you would find a saw today with the royal crown on it .

eBay and antique shops etc

Hey Aqua,

Nice Coca-Cola find, sir. The "Pause that Refreshes" slogan dates to 1929: List of Coca-Cola slogans

From musket balls to Coke, you are amazing and an animal. -4 Celsius, dam, even without the windchill factor, that is way too cold. You must be a talking polar bear in real life, and pose as a person on Treasure net. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nice finds you polar bear!

That CC relic is cool AQ!! NS must be full of relics & coins from many time periods. I'm sure it's fun to hunt there as you never know what to expect. HH, Q.

Great info there.....anything with COCA COLA on it is always a decent find....especially on the later spectrum of CoKE products.

haha...ya is Quite the variety right there...musket ball and Coke LOL....is a multi-generational site.

The -4c is a treat of a day after this winter.....then hammered again on Wednesday just as the fields were starting to open up. Giving same for Sunday but not as bad.

Wish I was a polar bear some days...at least then I would have something furry to cover me arse !!!!!!!!!!

Nice finds... dedicated going out in this cold! I found the same Saw Medallion last year. Had me fooled at the time as well, thought for sure it was a button!

Congrats AQUA another fine hunt, in less than comfortable conditions!

Ya, when quality counted makers were proud to put their names on the product! I think the only reason brand names appear today is so you know who to sue!

Spear and Jackson made many types of saws. They are still in business today. Yep every man had a couple of good saws. Neat coke item.

Great day Aqua. I can't wait to see what you pull out when it gets warmer.

That Coca-cola piece is super sweet. Used in offset printing and will still make a great image, as is. Try it with India ink. Conservative value: $100 to $150.

Would be pretty cool to have one of their old saws with that medallion still in place and then buy a new one to compare.
