0h Wow Dennis those look real nice..."good things happen to good people." I'm so glad you like them...and those are really interesting on building a train. Nice addition to your Collection. Nice selves too for storage.
@ZoidMeister[/USER] I love the spoon but it's not correct! The shield is a Knights of Malta...not house of Calvert . But the terpenes, oysters are correct. The battle monument was built right after the war of 1812 of Fort McHenery and the battle of North Point. That battle was a key victory against the British. As they tried to out flank Baltimore on the North East side of the city. A sniper took out their general with 1 shot...and his second in comand very green decided to retreat. Ironically the sniper was killed by a British sniper a few days later. This is very significant as had the British managed to break though that side of Baltimore we may be singing Gad save the King...not the Star Spangled banner... although my family had not arrived in Baltimore until the late 1890's I am very proud of my home town...its history and place in our country.
That's right, football legend Al Bundy who once scored 4--count them--4 touch downs in a single high school football game.
I recently purchased these as a lot for what I thought was a reasonable price. Most made the purchase for the first one. Modern Swiss Shooting Medals.
Neat! I thought the shooting medals were a thing of the past, in fact I've never seen a modern one til now!
A recent transportation token I picked up. It's difficult to find these heavily used 114 year old tokens in UNC condition. Also gotta love the 3¢ fare valuation. Z
A successful Numista swap netted me these bad boys from a French member. Getting close to completing the Nuremberg-Fürth Strassenbahn series! Also, some German notgeld, a train transportation token and a cool Porcine French medal. Anyone read French? The from under the boar says Porte Bonheur (Lucky Charm).
Good luck charm for boar hunting? Is it a popular sport in France? I've gotta look into this. I swapped just because I really liked the boar on it. Quite high in relief too.
