How did an old metal plaque from #Boston end up in a #compost heap in #VictoriaBC? My family had Boston connections in the early 1900s, and they seem to be manifesting a century later, out of my late Nana’s garden! #SuburbanArchaeology #DomesticHistory #PotterandWatkins #MilkStreet #history #insurance

@Kikadee Nice!
1465 looks like a phone number. 1910's or 1920's? found an ad for them here: https://books.google.com/books?id=Z6ixz5WpcwUC&newbks=0&dq=%2298%20milk%20street%22%20%22potter%22%20insurance&pg=RA7-PR9&output=embed

@knizer Hey thanks so much for looking into it further and sharing the link! I agree with your estimated date… late 1920s was my-family-in-Boston era, so it makes total sense.
