Default Garage Goods!

So I came across my old kindergarten Ninja Turtle thermos in the garage and found some treats in there that haven't been seen in years!

Here goes...

Turtle Power!


3 red points...Google it!


Someone had fun in LA


Not sure what that second one is.


Couple presidents and a City Counsil coin.


Old coins from around the world.


Oldest being this one.


World War 2 Victory Medal


1924 Merc, I think. How do I get that crud off it?


Destroyed Indian


Strange Abe.

I remember that song and the phrase that they would sing over and over.....
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles......Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.....Etc.
Yes, that can stick in your head for a while.

A shame Michael Bay has gotten his hands on the Turtles

Very cool collection to stumble back upon, the OPA tokens are awesome I knew I had heard about ration coins before, never really looked into it before... definitely a conversation piece.

i love the ninja turtle thermos. I miss those lunchboxes.

The ww2 medallion is very cool.

crazy how many medallions,rings etc were made following WW2. I MD'd a victory ring. looks like a homemade class ring.

nice re-finds

Back in my day we had the Kung Fu, Scooby, Blue Falcon and Dog Wonder, Hong Kong Phooey...i just dated myself....

I traded my binki for a ninja turtles thermos and a transformers lunch box when I went to kindergarten *yes I still had my binki... and loved it... Then later, unrelated "i think" I picked the binki back up and went to raves in the late 90s lol... god thats embarrassing. Why do I even post some things publicly?

Nice finds! How old was the Canadian coin. Because my oldest Canadian coin is a 1952 Penny.

Great finds...
CLR will clean that dime right up..
Check this 1853 seated dime I found that had a black like concrete crust on it...
Just check it every 20 minutes or so, when finished just polish it up..
