Long Road Trip Part II

TommyJay · Sep 6, 2018

Stayed with family for awhile, and got some parks, ballfields, and permissions hunted.

Some good showing at the parks and ball fields, The highlights at permissions was the 1901 IH, 1949 25 cent play coin, the Purple Heart medal (collectors edition?) made in Hong Kong

, the Belmont tag (not sure), and the wheaties that I found with the NOX that the 705 missed last year. Damn the humidity, on to the south we go!

Nice finds. Don't know where you are heading "South" but it is still HOT and HUMID in my part of the south.

My mouth fell open when I saw the Purple heart. glad you explained.

Hi, the "Belmont" find is the front to a padlock. I found it @ Antique padlocks.com, listed as Belmont- Warded Padlock. Not sure what a warded padlock is. It showed 4-5 locks under Belmont, one was Belmont Hardware, one had a 1896 pat date. Nice find, HH Jerry

We were in KY for a bit, and the humidity, pickup, and chiggers sent us back west. The Purple heart was a jaw dropper. Saw some writing on the back, and after clean-up, it was stamped HONGKONG. :roll:
