Monday at the gun club site I also dug up this piece of metal and almost threw it away........ :dontknow: I looked close and it had writing on it so I kept it and cleaned it a little when I got back home.
It is part of the front ID headplate of a pre-war ( WW1) Columbia Bicycle. They had a factory in Westfield Mass and they still are in business making bikes.
The 1st pic, is what I dug and the 2nd photo is what is supposed to look like. I bet it hit a few lawnmower blades before it got covered up in dirt............ :yes:
