F350Platinum Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I'd have named this "Just the Artifacts #5", but again I found some coins (thanks GB ?) Today was a decent day for March but the wind was unpredictable. At least it got warm enough that I didn't have to wear heavy or electric clothes. I think I found my first "Zincoln", it's the heavily corroded memorial to the right of the unidentifiable penny. Got another handle, again probably a razor. The large disc is gold plated, one side smooth and one has concentric circles. I'm thinking it was on a pocketbook or something. Small knurled ring that at first i thought was an Asian coin, but it is some sort of adjustment wheel. Much too small to be a coin. Odd lead "egg", a snap, another knurled knob. Big brass padlock I can't find the manufacturer of. The artful logo brings no result on image search. Heavy spoon handle, two buckles, one appears to be plated. Penny, probably a wheatie, and the corroded penny. This field isn't too good for copper or Zinc! Best for last again, a two piece button with the back missing says "Metropolitan Police DC". The small version of the Marine Corps buttons I've been finding, and the second four hole button I have ever found, "Lamm Baltimore". It's about ~1910, from a Baltimore company that made men's trousers and raincoats. Hope this crazy stuff is still interesting! Anyone identifying the anchor over rope button in my previous post is welcome to visit. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Another great hunt, and some nice finds. The letters on the lock will get you the manufactures name. I just can't make it out for some reason so I can't help you much. I had seen one of those before in some of my grandfathers antiques, but it is gone now so I can't tell you who made it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It brought up some Yale locks but nothing matching. Don't remember where but I've seen this one before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Found it. Took a chance on the letters, it reads "TA". It's made by the Fraim Lock company. Great website for locks, I guess we find a lot of them: http://antique-padlocks.com 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
