More finds from my apartment

#1 Unread post by Nolifeking »

I'll get some pictures up in a couple days just thought I'd share for now. In the past two days I've found some addition old coins. Most recent are: 1891 I.H., 1888 I.H., 1916 wheatie, and a 1924 wheatie. On top of the coin finds I found an old metal make up box (the contents are still there but destroyed from time) that had blush in it I think. There are a lot of decorations on it. The neatest would have to be the front which is decorated with a square ring of elephants. If anybody wants to see a picture let me know and I'll put some up with the coin pics. I know that this is a coin site otherwise I'd post it with out worries, but I didn't want to clutter the site with something other than coins :l
