I love the hot-water bottle. And the pocketwatch. What's that thing underneath the pocket watch?

My latest finds: Ivory straight razor from the 1890s, and another whistle.

I like the cars. Are they Schuco?

Fleamarket finds from this weekend:

I have that same hot water bottle, but the plating is missing, nice cooper though!

 

[Shangas]

I saw a hot water bottle like that at an antiques shop once for a fairly good price. For some reason I didn't buy it. It was yellow coloured. Copper or brass, I think.

 

[Fastuni]

Thanks guys! under the watches is a unused leather briefcase.
The cars are Wiking plastic models of German 30's cars.

Today, I went to the thrift store. I got two Crucifixes for free, and a little Radnor Bone China flower decoration.

Hand Made HB Radnor Bone China Staffordshire England

Plastic Crucifix. It has a 1 in a circle on the back. It may be vintage, or it may be not.

Wooden Crucifix. It has a little Made In China sticker on the back. I'm guessing its 80s-90s, but it could be newer.

Got this, today. From when you needed an opener to open your can of beer. You would put the can of beer in and pull the lever down. Basically, a professional grade church key.

[Bamaboots]

Sweet find, Tom and with the Pabst logo still intact.

 

[Stearmen]

Great find Tom! I think if you need one of those to open your can of beer, you have already past your limit! :cheers1:

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Thanks! I got one identical to it for my father, a couple Christmases ago. These date from the 1930's or so.

 

[BobHufford]

Nice finds RS.

Tom -- very, very cool. Your collection is quite impressive.

Other than a collection of used PBR cans that ebbs and flows, I do have this push-down church key that belonged to my wife's late Granddad.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Not a Bud drinker, but this was too neat to pass up. From the late fifties, or early sixties.
