Flea market finds

[clutchcarter]

It was a pretty good day at the flea market yesterday.

Two mint colonials, a junky Camco that was part of a package along with a vintage bicycle, and a really old thing that was marketed as a fleam but it think it's possibly a modified letter opener (What do you guys think?). I can't see an advertising company putting their own promotional information on a fleam. Whitehead & Hoag was a huge maker of advertising buttons for the most part.

Did anyone else score???


And...the bike (sharp, but not in a knife kind of way). Now all I need is a grandchild to ride it!

Ditto. Flea markets and antique stores are some of the best places to find nice knives.

Great stuff Mark :thumbup: I'm going to be busy with work this week and will have to miss my local fleamarket, but I did find this in an antiques centre yesterday :thumbup:

I have no idea what that Whitehead and Hoag is.
I'm sure it isn't a fleam, and I doubt it's a letter opener.

The Whitehead is a ink eraser. It was extremely sharp and used to scrape the ink off paper.

Whitehead and Hoag was a company that supplied advertising stuff like buttons, pens....yada, yada, yada...

Well that makes sense, an ink eraser!

Great stuff 👍😄 if it wasn't to be a fleam it would be an old Erasor. Wonderful finds!!

Oops Wolf beat me to it.

Neat styled Bike.

I like that old ink eraser. I think a relative had a Schwinn Bantam like that one except in red. Nice finds!

Thanks jack I really like the cub scout on but has a blade wobble wondering if I can fix it

 

[blade dude]

Nice I got a cheap 80t last flea market looks pretty rough and one blade was broken and ground to a scraper but hey it carved the wooden thing that got a chick to like me so it was worth the money. Ain't flea markets fun.

Right on man.

I found this a couple years ago in a cigar box full of lead sinkers and swivels at my local flea. I paid $20 for box and all.

Wow very nice looks well taken care of
