I'm still in the water at the same place trying to find at least one of the missing keys for those old padlocks but no luck so far. :dunno:
But the brass is still showing up so there is a chance.
And when I am finding brass there is always something interesting or different. Day 1 results.
I am glade that I didn't spear this shot gun shell.
U.M.C. CO. No 12
Head and primer appear to be the same metal (non magnetic). Brass height low with no design around the outside. Gauge designation only is usually only found on all brass shells. Scarce headstamp. 1873-1890
Speaking of shotgun shells that is what I thought this one was when I saw the end in the scoop.
But it ended up being my second gun oilier and fits perfectly with the date rand on the UMC shell.
Cushman & Denison NY pat. date 1889. A little worse for wear but the spring mechanism still works.
I have no idea on the date range for this but the manufacturer is Andrew B Hendryx (1834 - 1907)
Another suspender buckle to add to the collection.
I wonder if these buckle pieces I am finding are from the early 1900s style swim suits? 18-Jun-1916 ... of Nemo attractive stripes figured effects polka dots figures and floral patterns ... the or Triple Strip is they praise it nevertheless PALM BEACH SUITS
Also found another spoon.
