Fleamarket finds from this weekend:

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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