Trains are cool. Is it antiqued silver?

 

dwhiz:

The 1880 and 1980 are the centennial dates, but what does the 1907 date represent? A name change from Cottage City to Oak Bluffs?

 

This is the only other christening medal I can come up with for now. This one is smaller and with the loop almost looks like a watch fob. Originally it may have had a ribbon or lanyard attached so it could be worn.

Thanks Bruce

 

Trains are really cool that's why I bought it, I think it's silver. I'll know for sure when it arrives

 

I have no idea I bought it for the train

 

Back in the day another em on the tin can I was on was a plank holder of a ship he was on,(first crew) he had one for his ship and it was a key ring. Looked like yours.

 

Thanks for the info Circus. The piece is kind of small and doesn't have the "look" of a medal.

What more could I ask for trains & Moose are my favorites!!

 

Canadian Municipal Trade Dollars, such as that one, are chock full of awesome designs, trains, sailing ships, animals, etc... - perfect for thematic collections!!

Enjoyed reading this thread and seeing everyones contributions
The medal below was my first 'good' find with a metal detector,
almost 3" diameter and 124 grams of copper.
Some writing shows the numbers 88 and 92 with a copyright symbol I believe, Modern....
Still don't know it's exact origin, but someone from Ukraine told me it commemorates a military fortress constructed in Elizavetgrad in 18th Century.
Thanks for showing, Herbie.
