it's not rare or anything...but a nice vintage maybe 20's camping set ( Hobo set ) ..( Scout Knife) , from Prov. R.I .
These were made in many countries ...& popular for the time.

Looks like a Palco Boy Scout Knife, Fork and Spoon Pocket Knife.

 

Hi,
I agree with Holly. Looks like the set I had in the 1940s.

I'm seeing that bottle opener coming in handy. For the adults at least.

I got woken up by my dumb body at o'dark30 this morning, so out I went. Got a pile of silver jewelry at one stop , and nothing much thereafter except a wood and sterling Siplada bracelet for $5 and some boy's toys. The tube thing is off a Graflex camera.

 

Hi,
I have not seen a flame thrower soldier before, how nice. Your patch look like a Boy Scouts of America patch for a Sea Scout????

Might be. The soldier has a hole in his head and I think is missing a bit off the nozzle. No clue on the patch, but it certainly could be.

I did not get to Brimfield today. But, I did go to an estate sale late this afternoon and everything was 50% off. They were locking things up when I went to pay and they said just give us $20 for everything. OK. Including a pair of 14K gold earrings. I will be posting 2 whatsit posts.

 

Thanks!!!!

It went out today but I think I will ask him to return it if he doesn't have a use for or like it because I do.

 

Very nice finds all.
I picked up some Cathrineholm lotus bowls today at a local fair today that I never knew existed. They only do it 2 days a week for the whole year.

I know these bowls don't bring the price they used to, but I got them at a good price. Didn't have a chance to take any pics yet.

 

1) I grabbed this F-111 tie clasp at the thrift faster than a Gecko after a moth!
Maker anyone?

2) Nice USN pin for me.

3) I just thought this would be nice to wear....and it's my favorite color.

4) My favorite color!

I'd have jumped on the F111 tie clip too. And of course any blue rhinestone gaudiness that cropped up. The girl....not so much.

 

I almost took the cute Russian checker too at the GW today because her earrings were just like that stone!

And that 'girl' is Ann Margret.
Who looks pretty great at 76 now.

 

I know, but I tend to prefer something in a Y chromosome.
