Default Yesterday's finds...

It was a great day with different stuff....

US
Two silver buttons no backmark

The Fire Department backmark reads "Jacob Reeds and Sons Phila" Around 1880.

What looks like a thimble has mosiac pieces of color in the flowers. Might be a top of a cane or umbrella?

:merrychristmas: Thanks for looking!

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!
