I found out info on the hotel, just not anything about the spoon's tie into it. The initials are what I'd like to find out more on, I can't think of any relative with those initials. Guess I'll have to hit up Ancestry.com and Wiki.

Thanks

 

Oh I misunderstood! Good luck with the ancestry search! Maybe @lordmarcovan can provide some tips?

 

We have a giant framed lithograph of 'Prayers at Valley Forge' above our fireplace. I love that painting.

 

That's awesome!

United States Maritime Commission - Terminal Island token

 

Liking those transit tokens @Muzyck !

 

Thanks. Would like to know more about that Terminal Island token if anyone has a clue.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_Island more than you might want to know!

 

Thanks. Actually had that but I am not sure of the exact users or time frame for the token. The Maritime Commission only existed up until 1950 so I am figuring these were used by workers building ships post WWII.

Another one in the batch that arrived today. Unfortunately six others (transit tokens from Sweden and France) sent by the same seller a week earlier have apparently been lost in the mail.

What is this thing? Mobile AL on one side and a (British?) crown on the other?

 

One of the many Mardi Gras throws, doubloons are large coins, either plastic or metal, that are usually in the Mardi Gras colors. These coins portray the mystic society's emblem, name, and founding date on one side, and the theme and year of the parade and ball on the other side. The Infant Mystics were the first Mobile mystic to toss doubloons in the mid-1960s.

What ever group that it was for might have been founded in 1907 It looks like two items held together by a bezel ring like used to make necklaces. Since somebody went to a lot of trouble to drill hole in a pattern. I can't make out the letters on the reverse. The crown and wreath are stock designs used when they don't want a custom die made. From the inside of the hole it looks to be ye;;ow/go;d anodized aluminum. Could have been a crude attempt at a love token. The meaning which will probably be only known to the one that did it.

 

Thank you!

So there's no chance this was made in 1907? Is it 1960 or later?

I have been trying to find a similar one for ages online but couldn't, aren't these supposed to be very common?
