    Digging a hole for a new plant in the garden and, surprise! found this.
    Thought it was a dog tag until I cleaned it up. IMG_20171119_111414-1.jpg It's a Panama Canal
    employee I.D tag circa 1919-1938

    I know cleaning old coins is a no-no. But, I thought about putting
    this on Ebay for someone who is into collecting Panama Canal memorabilia. It's brass. Should I attempt to clean it or leave as is?
    Is Brasso still the go-to for brass cleaning?
