    These were a gift from a co-worker in appreciation for my helping her sell some old German notes. I don't think they have any value, but I think they are cool. I thought I would share since some of you might collect thses and also find interesting.

    1936 May Day Tinnie.

    A couple of inspection or inventory tags from Talbots(who I think are still in business) one is marked as a tool magazine and the other as a spiral drill control.

    finally a neat bracelet made from 5 and 10 pfennig coins. I am unable to provide the dates since the holes were punched in that area.

    Hope someone finds these interesting

    Yes, Talbot (the railway car manufacturer) is still around. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waggonfabrik_Talbot

    Cannot read everything either, but some parts are decipherable. ;) The king and emperor depicted on that piece is Wilhelm I.; left of the head, the last two lines are "Deutscher Kaiser"; on the right "Koenig von Preußen". The other side says "Zum Andenken an den hundertsten Geburtstag des großen Kaisers Wilhelm I." and has the dates "1797 22. Maerz 1897". Wilhelm I died in 1888, but the medal apparently commemorates the 100th anniversary of his birth.

    The "bracelet" reminds me of a Charivari which is used to ornament traditional South German costumes.
