Fairground find - Davy Crockett pin

[catskillcomics]

I did a little cleaning on the pin I found at the fairgrounds yesterday. Its a Davy Crockett pin, but have yet to be able to find this particular pin online yet.. I am pretty sure its from the 50's, maybe a premium, its pretty banged up, but still a neat find. Measure 3/8 inch x 1/2 inch

Cool find. Can you tell what metal it's made from? It really is eaten up bad, but I'd still be happy with it.

Its pretty light, maybe a pot metal or aluminum

Those types of finds are really worth a lot in good shape. Regardless of its shape, it's still a great find.

Yeh, its pretty beat up, not surprising though, was found between livestock barns. Considering that area is mostlyriver rock & gravel.. and between humans & critters tromping on it for who knows how long, it in pretty good shape ... I guess lol

I wonder if they used to give them out in cereal boxes or Cracker Jacks or at the Shell station. That may help you find it on line. Still a very different piece. I've never seen one before.

I tried a search for them, and found similar items, but nothing that matched the find. They all listed them as pot-metal badges.

That is an excellent find! I would be thrilled to find one of those!

Very cool find! Finding items like that make for good detecting! thumbsup01
