A piece of Drumheller history has made it back into the hands of the Nacmine Community Association.
Tom and Amie Courtenay of the Faux Den are always on the lookout for interesting items for the store, and on a recent trip to Stettler last summer they made a discovery of an item of interest to the former mining community in Drumheller.
Amie explains they stopped in Stettler on their way to Edmonton at a garage/antique sale.
“We bought some other mining stuff and the guy working there said “this is Drumheller” and he showed us the seal” explains Amie.
What he had a was a seal belonging to the Nacmine Community Association. This was used as a seal and to emboss documents.
Amie said the person who sold them the seal originally believed it belongs to the North American Colliers Mine, but upon close inspection, they saw that it denoted the Nacmine Community Association.
The treasure hunters brought it home but decided the best place for it would be back in the hands of the Nacmine Community Association. They approached the association and they were willing to accept it.
The stamp was presented back to the community at the monthly breakfast at the Community Hall on Sunday, November 18, through three long-time Nacmine residents and volunteers of the association.
