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




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 :D
 
nice haul:thumbup:

I have a ric-nor TL-29 with the same pie crust kind of scales as yours pictured.

That Camillus is a 1705 Lineman's Jack.

Thanks for the info. I almost left without buying it, because it has a ton of blade play, but I decided last-minute to get it, and I scored that and the Boker. $10 for both :D

Nice, I am rubbing my hands together for you :) Good stuff :thumbup:

What was the pocket watch? Here, they're either total junk, cheap and nasty repros, or they cost an arm and a leg unfortunately.
 
Now that´s a great haul for today :)
Congratz!

I was on a flea market today as well; but there was not one knife to find - propably the sellers made a trip the US and were the lucky fellow ;)

That Camillus is a great looking piece - will be fun to restore in any way.

Same story here. The only thing that is stated on the watch is "Bull's Eye"
 
That's a Westclox Bullseye "dollar" watch, though they were closer to $5 when I was buying them in the '70s. They tended to keep great time.
Does that Barlow have solid bolsters? If so I'm even more jealous. Great haul.

I bought a similar McGrew knife brand new back in 1992-ish. They were common flea market fodder back then, $5 each. Made by Imperial or Colonial, from what I've read.

Yeah, it's pretty cheap in it's construction. The scales are really loose and they rattle. Got it for $5 I think.
 
Very nice. It's been a while since I found a good flea market.
 
Nice bunch of knives for a great price. My favorite is the Imperial with the wood scales.
