<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 834796, member: 16948&quot;]Here are some very interesting Indian cent exonumia pieces I recently acquired.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this beautiful 1902 Indian cent pocket mirror at Baltimore. As you can see it is an original gem red Indian cent in a neat &quot;Good Luck&quot; Braxmar Jewelry Company advertising pocket mirror. I have a friend who collects these so I&#039;ve seen quite a few, but this is one of the prettiest I&#039;ve seen. The only real flaw is that the antique celluloid that used to cover the Indian cent is missing. Otherwise, it&#039;s in pristine condition.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The next piece is an 1892 Indian cent (found on Ebay) that was carved into something similar to the large cent pie crimper or gear that I posted a couple weeks ago except this one doesn&#039;t have the hole in the middle.&nbsp; It&#039;s possible it was made to use as a gear that didn&#039;t require the hole, but I&#039;d welcome any other information about it. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a super cool turn-of-the-century pocket watch fob and I have a little story that goes with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw this exact piece on Ebay about 12 years ago and thought it was really neat, though I didn&#039;t know much about it.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t win it but every now and then something would remind me of this watch fob.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, I was just thinking about it a couple weeks ago and that I should have bid more on it because it stayed with me.&nbsp; So then on at Baltimore on Saturday, a guy comes to my table with a handful of different things - Conder tokens, some Indian cents, the pocket mirror, and this watch fob!&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t believe my eyes - this cool old piece had come back to me after all these years.&nbsp; So here it is.&nbsp; The Indian cents aren&#039;t in the best of shape, and one of the cellophane covers is missing, but I think it&#039;s a one-of-a-kind piece, and I love it just the same!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
