Awesome weekend away with No8wire and Chrispy and good to get away and see some sites, pickings were slim indeed so not much overly exciting to show, did find a first , the condom tin, I found the top Chrispy the bottom and he kindly donated that to me and a complete snake belt buckle.

I didn't know that style went back to medieval days, even the US civil war soldiers wore them (England Import), Im going to guess this ones Victorian due to the flower design etc

Late night hunt and 3 more silvers, just 2 more to get.
Also pulled up a token that says on the front
" The Ru-ber-old man guards every roll of Ru-ber-old "
On the back it's says Standard paint company New york and other writing, will need to look into that tomorrow.

Thanks no8wire, company has been around since the late 1800s and from what I've read this token is 1908, there are a few different varieties depending on the city, New York, Boston and Chicago
Yes 2 more to go, will get out on Sunday and smash it !!
