This rare cartridge belt, designed as a complement to the "Model 1903 rifle," was found here in Vicksburg. It's prior owner probably participated in WWI, the "Great war." 
A number of unopened boxes of rare rifle cartridges were found along with the belt. The cartridges shown here were made by Winchester for a .41 caliber Swiss rifle and are marked ".41 Swiss Smokeless Rim Fire." Additional cartridges are shown on the Adolph Rose Antiques website.
It's amazing what people will throw out when they're cleaning house. This 2" Crucifix - marked 14K - along with various and sundry other gold and gold-plated jewelry was recovered from a trash bag placed alongside the street for pickup by the Vicksburg city garbage haulers. I can't take credit for finding it, though I'm not above dumpster-diving myself.
This large (5" vertically) brass/lead heart-shaped device came from a trash dump here in Vicksburg. It features in relief the capital building in Louisville, Kentucky. It's intriguing in that it appears to be a very thin brass stamping with a very thin lead backing. If that's the case, it is quite old - possibly War Between the States old. It's use is not known. One never knows what he might find in the trash dumps of this old town.
From a local estate sale, this little composition doll is in amazingly good condition, having apparently been in the same family for quite a while.
