This was found many years
ago, perhaps in the 1940's
or earlier by my Grandpa.

This is a shell I
found on the beach here
in Alaska. Thought I'd set
it on this ancient stone.

same but similar.

Five in one.
Silver dollar for size, it's
1 Β½'' inches in diameter.

color, it is from my moms
house around 1970 or so.
