Guest mlitty Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I'm hoping to identify a recent find, and I think you all might be just the experts I need. I was metal detecting at a friend's house that dates back to the late 1790's and found what looked like a coin about 10 inches down in the front yard. It turns out to be a coin-like piece with the image of a driver on one side and a very old car on the other. The disk is about 1.25 inches in diameter. I could not make out any text or traces of text, not even with a magnifying glass.On close inspection, the top appears to have two wide-set nubs as if there had been a loop at one time.It's the lower of a three medallion watch fob that dates back to the early 1900's. Can anyone help ID the date? manufacture? tire/wing logo? Edited June 23, 2013 by mlitty (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mlitty Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Okay, I found that it's the bottom piece of a three-medallion watch fob. Now I'm trying to find out how old, and any info about the manufacturer or other emblems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
