After a bit of a break in hunting and collecting, John Serniak and I picked these off an old mine line. The mine itself dated back to 1921, but we couldn't find the original line, so we settled for these. The white spool I picked out of a mine says "P.P. [unidentified writing] so I will be posting that in the help/questions folder soon.

the mine opening appeared to have said 1821 for the year on it, but the darkness of the woods on weary eyes can be deceptive! the mine was actually opened in 1921 and operated up until the 50s

The pintype cables are U-499A's (Thanks Steve Lohr) and I am not sure about the little orange pony yet.
