Sorry got rolling and wasn't paying attention.

No worries. Happens frequently.

Found this one today at an antique store. Someone badly abused the bolsters trying to tighten the pivot (Oh, they got it tight alright!). It has perfect handles though!


I was somehow able to resist this mechanical marvel.......

 

[Gevonovich]

Great find, clutchcarter! Glad they did not use the grinding bike on it

This isn't everything I've ever gotten from flea markets, but here is the haul from my most recent expedition.

Pocket watch, knives, matchbooks.... I had a good day.




Left to right
Colonial, Klein, and one marked "Rio-Nor" and under that "USA"




Other knives bought as well







Old Boker



An Imperial that I really like.




An Imperial Fish knife




Barlow marked "McGrew" and "USA"




Camillus that i'm not familiar with




I was drawn to this Imperial for some reason.




Imperial SAK




And a little Colonial penknife.

I'm pretty happy with what I got... Especially since they were only $5-$10 a piece, and the fish knife was $1

^^^ Nice, love the old Boker.

^^^ Nice, love the old Boker.

Thanks! I'd be carrying it right now if it weren't for the very well sharpened down blade and rounded tip

Awesome finds!

Not really a flea market, more of an antique mall sort of place, but I couldn't pass up this hand made file knife go for just $12.50.

That's cool, I've been thinking about turning a old file into a fixed blade, just have not gotten around to it.

I find file knives fascinating. I look forward to seeing where you go with it

thanks for the pics, fun haul
The Boker is a beauty, :-( about the blade character.
the Camillus EO, Rope Knife? looks interesting, nice score.. composite handles?
and cool BSA knife

Happy Holidays

I like that old Boker.

I just discovered this thread, and it's cool knowing others share my interest in these old, well used pocketknives. (or should I be unhappy I've got competition? )

Here's a few I found this year:

It's been a pretty good year. Happy Holidays to all.....

I found this one at an antique mall today. Is it a Pine Knot? Can't be sure.

 

[Stich2442]

It's been about a year since I've had any time or luck flea market hunting, it it started out slow nothing great and outrageously priced, but I found two decent finds, well ones a gem, got both for $12, I love flea markets and negotiating price, not bad considering the Ulster made Old Timer started at $15

Imperial Providence RI, I have a few from when I was a kid with shell bolsters this has solid nickel silver with coined liners, needs a little work but it's a nice little Jack






Now for the gem, I gave away as gifts most of my Schrade Old Timers so this I was excited to find a Old Timer Ulster USA 58OT, I believe these Ulster made for Schrade for Prince Albert pipe tobacco, but I'm not 100% sure, but it's in new unused, factory edge condition, only blemish is a finger print patina that I haven't tried to clean off, I'm more than happy at the $8 I talked the vendor down to.
