Found vintage coin album, Collectors Item
I found a vintage coin album this afternoon around 2:30pm tucked under a bench at the Harbor Park gazebo off Lake Road in Ashtabula. The binder is tan leatherette, about the size of a standard ledger, with a bright blue cloth spine and a clear plastic flip inside pages. Inside are coins from the 1960s and 70s, some still in plastic flips, and one page has a tiny brass key taped to the cover beside a handwritten bookmark that says RR Collection. The album shows light water staining on the back and wears that tell you it's been loved for years. If this belongs to someone, I'd love to help return it to the rightful owner.
Brass Hamilton pocket watch with engraved initials
I found a brass Hamilton pocket watch this morning around 10am in the parking lot behind the Ashtabula Public Library on Main Street. It has an ornate engraving on the back with the initials 'A.N.D.' and a white dial with black Roman numerals. The case shows a few scratches from years of pocket wear, and the glass has a tiny crack at the 3 o'clock position, but the mechanism ticks when I give it a gentle shake. It clearly belongs to someone who wore it for generations, and I’d love to get it back to its owner. If this is yours, drop me a line with the initials on the back and a photo of the watch so I can verify and we can arrange a meetup to return it.
Found a rare 1970s Charlie's Diner matchbook in Ashtabula garage.
I found a rare matchbook from the famous Charlie's Diner while cleaning out my garage here in Ashtabula. It has a unique design and is likely from the 1970s. I believe it may belong to a collector or someone who visited the diner back in the day. If anyone is looking for it, please reach out!
