I have some construction equipment themed money clip, cufflinks and tie tacks, but do not know anything else about them. The money clip has Michigan on the front of the truck & not sure what that is on the back of it, or even if it is a makers mark...
The other three tie set pieces say Bucyrus Erie.
They are part of a vast collection of items from my late mothers inventory.
What is printed on these items? I can only see "------"Erie. Can't read it because of the flash. (flash-less photos please!) Need to tell us everything you see printed on them.
Oops, forgot to add the close ups.

The other three tie set pieces say Bucyrus Erie (I think)
Bucyrus Erie: a company that made both above & underground mining equipment. The company was later bought by Caterpillar.
That might be a maker's mark or some other mark on the money clip, but I just can't see it properly.
These items were most likely made either for employees or perhaps for use by sales reps.
Awesome info - thank you so much Efesgirl!
You're welcome!

Hey Bonnie, my hub just informed me that his granddad in the course of his career worked a steam shovel, so these must have come from the company...
There ya go! :-)))
