....It's Sterling! Well it pays to go back over your finds. I found this a couple of weeks ago at a sidewalk tearout. I cleaned up a bunch of stuff on Friday and after looking more closely realized this was sterling.

I think you are right, this one will probably go on ebay, no sentimental value to me from either the item or the site where I found it. I am trying to save up for another machine for my son so this might help.

Nice find on the Yale pin. Maybe you will find Yale alumni, who will get into a bidding war on the pin.
