Pavers (We don't have a section for 'em?)

I dig these all the time. Not all in the photos do I still have, as I also sell them, but after I think 35 I stopped cataloging them (I catalog everything I dig.)
It used to be that I could bring only 2 home in my damaged backpack, plus other finds.
Then I got baskets on my bicycle, thus bringing it up to 4 for the baskets.
Then I bought a car, so it kind of went to dozens if I desired (as seen in last pic.) LOL

Why I put these in both railroadiana and advertising is because any train-station from the Victorian era to early 1900s should have pavers. It's just that they rarely let the side advertising the brand be seen. But, flip the large pavers (not small) over, and you'll likely see these,
They covered city streets-- the important main roads. Carriages crossed these, early automotives too. Children skipped along these as horses trampled over.

Now, they're found dumped in woods, in water, found in industrial filling, but most easily found in old train-stations.
Pavers are still made, but rarely debossed (sunken-in lettering) or embossed (raised-up lettering.)

These photographed are from the "Golden Age" of pavers, the 1890s to 1910s. There are countless companies that put them out, and even more variants. The fact that many bricks are also debossed can confuse people who know little on these, but those are also collectible.

If you're a digger and stumble along these, don't throw them out. People tried using them to "compact" garbage in outhouses, so you may find these even in privies. They're collectible, but shipping is costly so they aren't usually worth much for online auctions.
Still, $5 per paver is a good price for one in good condition with words all over its front. Ones with images can be even better, although just a simple star is questionable.

Sadly, most of these will be mortared-over, and that can be difficult to clear off without damaging the paver.
