The numbers are part numbers, we order jewelry for out stores and they write the part number on the jewelry sometimes, it's just so that the people stuffing the orders don't get thigns mixed up sometimes. Most of the time it washes off or wears off, so that might be a fairly new drop or it might be permanent marker?

It's a cushioned bicycle grip, I had bought a pair of them to use on the levers on an old riding mower but they were too big. The original red grip wouldn't stay on any more. I forced this on the Lesche with hot water and dish soap. It's more comfortable digging now.

Nice finds.
A week earlier I parked my car near his mansion and went for a walk around his neighborhood. I found some old abandon homes and searched the area between the street and sidewalk, only found a bit of clad, But found a statue about 100' tall that was put up in 1918 dedicated to past war veterans. I will get a picture next time I go back
