Found this on the ground in the parking lot while out getting lunch. Quite a surprise when I picked it up! Been ran over a few times... Also found a 1966 Roosie next to it about a foot away.

This was found in the U.S.! Which makes it even more of a surprise.

1896 Canada, worth roughly USD 4-5 as it is damaged.
