I like the bone trousse , Charlie......maybe you can replace the missing blade...

 

How do you think I could do that would I need a Blade from the time period?

 

May have overpaid for this item due to the poor condition but I've never seen one in cardboard/paper. Most of them are in tin and thus more indestructible.

 

I see some of the damage but it doesn't look too bad to me.
Want to tell us what you paid?

 

I like that a lot yes please tell us how much you paid if you don't mind

 

$15. I don't know a whole lot about advertising (other than it's cool and I like it) so I try to be cautious.

Due to the fragile nature of the legs I'm going to find a rigid plastic holder for it. (like the ones used for collectable currency)

 

Also got this at the same auction for a few bucks.

 

I like the whale better.

 

I see so it's like a business card very nice And I like the cow one better lol.

 

That would be the best.....but not an easy find.

 

love the cow and the whale

 

I like that portable eating set. Finding the blade, as others have said, wouldn't be easy. OTOH you could get a modern one made the old way. There are Japanese and American artisans still doing it. A replacement blade wouldn't be original anyway, so a good copy might be the next best thing.

 

Here is one of my favorites out of my postcard haul!

 

Gee, I am very familiar with Venice, but I don't recognize that view...................

 

Bought from Animal shelter Charity shop cost £25.00
HELP identify please is this a orginal American Army helmet ?
Steel outer with detachable plastic inner with leather support inside .

Plastic inner has markings but can't make out what they are.

Outer Metal Helmet has Markings of Crown with Capital Letters CF under it .

 

Hi Mansons..if you had to pick...Venice or Rome..going to Switzerland June 2018 and have time for one but not both thanks

 

Can't tell for sure from the photos. The US made so many helmets by 1946 that they produced no more for 40 years. There were warehouses full of them until then. They were given to countries all over the world as 'military aid'. They generally sell for under $20 here.

 

June sounds great for either though I've never been to Rome or Venice.
Was headed there from Innsbruck July 4th '89 until I was told that there was a bad rainstorm going on so didn't.
I LOVED Switzerland. Could've just stayed.
I should go to Naples some day since Mom's side is from there.

 

unless you're so into glass that it hurts......i'd say Rome !

 

Thank you Komokwa and KingofThings !!
