History buffs, steampunk crafters, and upcyclers will hit the jackpot with this curated, metal-themed "junk drawer" treasure jar. Housed inside a clear glass Ball Mason jar, this eclectic assortment spans several decades of 20th-century history.
Looking through the glass, several fantastic focal pieces are immediately visible: a highly collectible 1944 Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman presidential campaign pinback button (approximately 82 years old), a 1990 Seattle Goodwill Games enamel pin (36 years old), and a Hard Rock Cafe "Seal of the Embassy of Rock and Roll Washington" brass-toned medallion. The jar is densely packed with other intriguing metallic finds, including wheat pennies, a brass lighter casing, copper coils, vintage keys, a faux-turquoise bar pin, metal fish charms, and assorted brass buttons and hardware.
Jar Note: The collection is housed in a modern clear glass Ball Mason jar. The logo style (without the traditional dropped underscore) indicates it is a mass-produced canning jar from the late 20th century or newer. While the modern jar itself is very common and holds minimal antique value (typically $1 to $2), it serves as an excellent, sturdy display vessel for this fantastic metal collection.
