Hi my name is shawn and I live in the eastside of does Moines Iowa. I live off of Hubble ave. There is a empty lot where I use my metal detector and I been finding conductor buttons of motorman and a transfer tag that reads sept1 1923 really neat I though they might be electric trolley car relics

My father was a conductor on the east 14th street run back in the early 1940’s. We also lived on E 14th at that time (between Thomoson and Guthery) and our father would clang the bell when he would go by the house. I am looking forward to seeing the exhibit at the Historical Building this spring.
