Flea Market finds

Yeah, she's a keeper. The big one is marked Hoffritz. It has something tiny written underneath that stamp but I will have to find a magnifying glass to read it.
It has a locking main blade, two saw blades and a corkscrew.

It's been a while since I've gone to the flea market, picked this Hammer Brand USA c. 1945-1955 Jack $4.00
No rust, super clean, super sharp, great snap, pen blade has been reshaped maybe to scrape a pipe or a small screwdriver.
I might reshape it back to a point and file down the kick, haven't decided, might keep as is.

Very nice Pete! Is that faux wood acrylic?

 

[Stich2442]

Jeff I think it's celluloid, it looks like magma granite.

 

[Gevonovich]

Really neat scales on that one Pete! Nice find

I spent way too much at the flea market this weekend..All this for $60 but some will be X-mas presents..

 

[CellerDrummer]

Went back Sunday and picked this up for $20.00...Its a Buck Mentor model 470..420HC and a 5 inch blade..

That fixed blade is nice looking... appears a little like the old Schrade "Sharpfingers" that are shown here in the trad-forum at some time.

Thanks they are really cool, and like all the Hammer Brand knives they sharpen up really, really nice. It was sharp when I bought it but I noticed a few burrs, so I cleaned out the gummy oil from the pivots and re-oiled it with mineral oil and ran it over a med, fine, and extra fine stone and it is now in my back pocket.

This was my haul from a flea market a couple weeks ago. I'm still cleaning them up. The yellow trapper is really coming along considering the abuse it got. Somebody let it rust really bad and then used a grinder on the blades. Still, most will be nice in a little while, and it keeps me busy at night.

Nice finds. That little red jack knife is cool.

Great haul Eisman (let me know if you ever fancy visiting Otley )! Be nice to see another pic when you get them all cleaned up

Found these today at the local flea market. Gave $5 for the Camillus TL-29 and $18 for the 34OT.

It's been a while since I've picked up something, the flea market I go to doesn't open up again until April. My wife wanted to go antiquing today so I took the opportunity to see if there were any old knives. I found lots of old really rusted & broken Kamp-Kings, but at the very bottom of the box, tucked in the corner, I found this small Queen Stockman, kind of a impulse buy, it looks to be in new condition, with a factory edge that is actually sharp.

Queen #35 small stockman, all three blades are in new condition, half-stops, I like the sheepsfoot, it's more of a wharncliffe, not sure on steel, scales look like delrin.

Next to peanut for size

I found these today in an old tackle box at the flea market. The old feller selling them had to have me open the blades so he could check them out for pricing. I paid $5 for the smaller one (haven't figured out who the maker is yet, all I can read on the tang is ureiss or oreiss, can't make out the first letter or two at all), and $7 for the Camillus.

 

[scruffuk]

That's a great looking wee stockman. Good find!

 

[Jack Black]

Yep. another nice find Pete :thumbup:

 

[Gevonovich]

That lucky penny works well!! Winterbottom found in winter

 

[SOUTHERN WOODS]

Great finds!

I only wish I could find something decent here in NC or SC. All I seem to find is china made junk.

 

[Stich2442]

The flea market I go to opened up on Sunday, I had a mission to find a TL-29 for a forum member & friend, I found a few in rough shape and then I found a nice Camillus with the late 70's early 80's- 88 tang stamp, talked the seller down and got it for a good price. Had some slight surface rust but cleaned up nicely.

Right after purchase

Today after cleaning and a proper edge

If my wife remembers a box it will be shipped later on today.
