Vintage Goodies.....

Hey Diggers,

Was a fun, productive day in the field. Went back to a spot where I know there are oldies. It is a GIGANTIC county park here in NJ. One section in particular has produced many keepers for me, including a few from today. The score is as follows:

A fine looking "Princess Pat" Rouge Tin from the 1930's. Anything from the Princess Pat company is highly collectable, including this. Ebay & worthpoint has it listing for about $20.00 I included a pic of what it looks like in new condition

My second keeper was a Chicago World's Fair "Ford Motors" coin celebrating 30 years of service for the V-8 engine.

My last keeper is either an old skate key or a clock winder. Pretty common, but, always wanted a cool looking winder/key and today I got what I wished.

Finally, rounded out the day with a couple of bucks in clad, but, we all know what that looks like. Enjoy!!!

The Detroit Auto Car Show opened on October 21, 1933 in the Detroit Convention Hall. Its theme was to celebrate the ‘Thirty Years of Progress' that the Ford Motor Company had accomplished since its founding. It was a free show and was held over for a second week. Over 1.1 million people came to see the free entertainment. The Detroit brass coin has the 1933 car grille with Ford script in the middle and 1903 and 1933 on one side. The obverse has the V-8 in the center and the words Thirty Years of Progress around the edge. It is approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter.
