Some pickings from my cousins yard and walking thru looking when he breaks ground for his garden every year. From where the Union lines were at the battle of Plains Store (near Port Hudson LA) None of this was metal detected. Heck you don’t need one. Lol

The bronze h.v. transformer Westinghouse is really heavy turn of the century 1900's nameplate.

The Bureau of Reclamation is from the very late to early 1900's from the Rio Grande / Elephant Butte Dam irrigation projects. I found it many years ago on an old chain link fence close to downtown El Paso. Check out the reward amount... lol

The old fan was when my father-in-law lived at the men's dorm under the LSU Tiger Stadium... no a/c just fans... :eek:
He bought it at an old Western Auto Store.

The 1965 Texas Machinery plate was unissued and the unissued 1966 / 1967 Sportsmans Paradise Louisiana plate correspond to our birth years. Wife is from southern Louisiana. Her family roots are from St. Landry Parish.

The green kerosene lantern I took from a caboose when they were being decommissioned and getting sent to the steel mill I used to work at back in the mid to late 1980's.
It is stamped Santa Fe Atchison & Topeka Railway.
It iis pretty old. Has a hanger bracket on the back and reflector shield.

My 10 year rigging partner had the LSU boots they gave Rod Stuart! LSU is some funky folks!
(Never fit me though... Guess they were made for somebody else with little tiny feet).

I love ALL that old stuff... not all you old geezers ;)... just old memorabilia.

Love that old root beer colored glass bottle from
USA HOSPITAL DEPT. That one is really cool and all those Minney bullets you have.

I had never heard of reunion bills before either.

Love your collection!

Been showing some of the stuff from Dad’s side of the family, but have a fair amount from Mom’s side too. Dad met mom when he was stationed in Germany in 61-64. Dad’s father was in the 86th ID, the only division to see action in both European and Pacific Theatres. Mom’s father was in Rommel’s Afrika Korps.

What I believe to be a true vintage PanAm sign. Thick metal with real porcelain and age appropriate oxidation on the back.

Hello Soundmound & All GMSB Buddies! I hope all is well.

Thanks for posting. Nice collection
That old Sir Walter Raleigh I had not seen in a while. Brought some good memories of my Grandfather. That was his go to rolling tabacco. :D He would let me light his cigarettes... lol... I was around 6 y.o.
Usually mostly see the Prince Albert tins.

Be well and stay safe out there. Best wishes to you and all of your loved ones always!

Here's a vintage DrPepper sign we've had for many years. Used to have a LOT more signs and stuff; a bunch got stolen when our house was burglarized and we had to sell much of what was left for various bills due.
I have a few more things, and some vintage tools; I'll post pictures as I dig em out....

I was digging out an oleander that died from the heat, and found an old Dr. Pepper bottle. I'll have to find it and get a pic
