Description |
Long, narrow cylinder of silver colored metal that is almost completely covered in rust. The ends are wider than the body of the container. One end screws off. A paper tag is tied to one end. The tag has handwriting in pencil reading "14 oz. Ag Rec'd 11/23/14 / 20 oz OH Jan 1 1916 [last line illegible]." Back of tag is printed with Homestake, but half of the tag is torn, so only "HOM" is visible. |
