Great finds! Interesting hat, a Knox branded Resistol? The tag, clay color, and roundup collection look just like the Resistol that I have the beaded band on.Hat, coat and tie. All for just over $10.
Bob: super great finds but that jacket is an absolute stellar find and in amazing condition!! Not sure but it kinda looks like goatskin??Hat, coat and tie. All for just over $10.
Nice find! Be sure to post some pics after the remodel.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.

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??

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?

That's part of the fun of collecting stuff.....finding out it's history, or sometimes what it even is.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?
Yours is definitely pre-wwII. The swastika wasn't such a lucky charm after that.
Vintage (I'd guess 60s or 70s) Holley carburetors windbreaker.... big enough to fit me.
I sure will, Bob!
