Old cowboy boot money clip for 50 cents from the farmers market this morning. I got some great hot tamales, too, but they disappeared before I could take a picture.

Picked up this Stagecoach at a flea market. This is my wife's size, and she wanted it. She has told me she wants it made into a California Vaquero style.

Thanks Ed! Looking forward to seeing your wife’s new Resistol in its final form.
Thanks Bowen! Not sure on the hide, but I can send it to you for evaluation (for a modest fee).

An H bar C too. They had some really nice, high end, western wear.

Here are two smalls that have me baffled.
The first is a lucky talisman coin. There are a lot of reproductions on Ebay, but this is the real deal. I understand it's from the Depression period - 1930's. Someone suggested it was Masonic, but then, everything mysterious gets attributed to them. It's non-ferrous. Anyone have a more concise description?
This next one baffles everyone - I could only find one on-line reference. The example had holes drilled in it. The example penny was dated 1920. This ones a little hard to read, but its a 1919. So something was going on with these. It is not a screwdriver. It looks like a gap gauge. Any ideas??

Cool finds. The good luck coin looks like standard carnival issue prize type stuff, not Masonic related. I have a more recent (50s, maybe) one that came from a Rexall pharmacy. It doesn't have a swami on it, just a four leaf clover and stuff. Much less mysterious. Yours is definitely pre-wwII. The swastika wasn't such a lucky charm after that.
The piece with the penny is a stumper. I agree it looks like a spark plug gapper, but it doesn't have any size markings anywhere on it, nor does it appear from the photos that the business ends are different thicknesses. I wonder if it might be some kind of homemade good luck talisman?

Like I mentioned, I saw another exactly like it on that auction website where they don't tell you how much things sold for - unless you subscribe. Makes me think there might be more than a home-made history. Who knows?

That's part of the fun of collecting stuff.....finding out it's history, or sometimes what it even is.

The wife brought home a pair of “rocks” glasses from the Kachina Klub (an ROJ organization as far as I can tell based on the Billiken). Mirth is King!

Just saw this, Cuz. That "Swastika" is likely the lucky rolling logs the Navajo believe in. Even Coca-Cola used it in the 30's. Fits right in with all the other 'mystical' good luck charms.

Stumbled upon this in a local Facebook garage sale group this morning. Since we are building a new shop this summer I figured I should learn a new skill (or a skill). 1959 Delta/Rockwell Homecraft lathe.
Some of these tools go back into the 1950s as well.
Guess I'll have to find a tight, striped t-shirt.
While there my wife also picked up this 8-quart press. The persimmons don't stand a chance.
