Miniature Ivory Aide Memoire - 1920s

Shangas, am I "deja vu-ing" because I think I have seen this "aide memoire" a few months ago on this site. I can't remember and haven't looked up the particular thread it was in, but I think its appearance prompted a reference or two about "dance cards"?

 

Yes, this is my second Aide Memoire. I posted one a few months back which was a bit bigger than this one.

And no, it's not a dance-card. It is an aide memoire.

 

Thank goodness it is your second posting of an aide memoire.

I thought I was getting wonky.

Now if I could just find your previous post about an aide memoire.

 

The first thread:

Thank you, thank you, thank you Clutteredcloset49.

 

I can do a side-by-side shot if you want.

 

Post # 4195 on the finds thread........did you swipe Terry's new lighter ??

.......

 

LOL!!

Hah! No, my lighter is MY lighter! Terry's lighter is TERRY'S lighter!!

Mine is a replica of a ZIPPO 1937 polished brass with corner-slashes, as I think, is Terry's (unless his is a genuine 1937 one!)

 

I nearly bought the replica , but at about that time my old air force zippo leaked fluid in my front pocket , burning my leg.....so I stopped buying and using them in favor of my Dupont.

 

HA! I just saw your new description on your avatar.
"Underage Antiques Collector and Historian"
Quite the conundrum there.

 

Thank you for your service komo!

 

I have that there because I suspect I'm much younger than the average age of most antiques collectors and dealers.

 

I understand. I thought perhaps it was partly in jest and an oxymoron.

 

Just curious, Shangas, but did you start "antique hunting" when you were a young child (7 or so years old)? Were you digging in your yard looking for buried treasure(s) when you were that young?

 

Sorry to make you think that King.
I'm not military.....although I strongly support the men & women who are !!!

I found the lighter at a ski hill when just a tad of a lad....lost it in University during a snow storm ....found it on the front lawn that spring....and kept it ever since.

 

I see and thank you!

 

& thank you....for your service !!!

 

When I was a kid, there were two antiques shops down the road from my house. I used to go in there every weekend to drool at the goodies on display. I would've been 5 or 6 at the time. I started SERIOUSLY collecting antiques when I was in my last year of highschool, about 18. And it just built from there. I'll be 28 in about a month.
