A pretty silver earring and an old token found today at the beach

[Magyar]

It was a beautiful sunny , mild day at the beach...some people were in the water already!

Hunted the wet sand slope following the tide out while Hank was busy watching Bubba Watson win another tournament

Apologies ...I am just learning a new photo program so there will be multiple pics where I usually crop and paste together..still learning that one at present

Earring gave off a nice high sound...was thickly tarnished; it has a foreign stamping on it; tested + for silver with acid kit.

Token is "New Haven Railroad" on one side; "compliments of dining service" on the other.I think the token is from the early 1900's..not sure , though.

Here's a little bit of info I found about this token-also pics of what the token looked like once upon a time:

My Recent Posts As indicated in my recent book on the New Haven Railroad's dining car service, "Dining on the Shore Line Route" ( available through the NHRHTA see the book list at http://www.nhrhta.org/ ), the aluminum tokens were distributed as a promotion when the original grill cars and rebuilt "Colonial Diners" were new. The tokens could be kept as souvenir "pocket pieces" or redeemed on the next trip for a free cup of coffee.


Here's pics

thanks for looking
