I was able to save 2 shoe buckles, an escutcheon plate,4 of the 5 buttons are tombacs and my 2nd Roosevelt/Fairbanks campaign fob.was a nice day,temps were perfect & the ticks are back out in a feeding frenzy

You still managed some relics out of there. Although this is another FOB for same election this one looks a bit different. The 1828 one found this summer was really ornate. The one you found from 1904 only have the names. Now, you would be lucky to get a pen from the campaings. Lol.

Are ticks usually out this late in the year?

Love those buckles Dave! The Fob is cool as well. Never heard of TR's running mate before. Thanks for the heads up on the tick's.

Great looking buckles. Don't worry you'll be getting a copper real soon. The fob is unique and you've got two of them. I see from Todd's video that you still tape up your pants. The ticks are gonna have to work real hard to get at you.

You sure that's not a key tag to room 1904 at the Roosevelt hotel in Fairbanks, Washington? :rofl: A great piece of history and I am so happy you found it! HH, Dave.
