Thread: My collection grew ,last week and today.

Last week I picked up these pieces.
1. Naturally I had to have the Friodur Inox,, mint from what I can tell, a very nice W&B with an image on the scales of a man holding a Trident, and a Jaques Le Coultre Au Sentier
2. A Union single pin, Worcester and a 1912 Jos. Hollenger
3. Winner,, no name, and a F. Reynolds
4. A Boker Triple pin, Blue Steel 'independent' with a very nice heat treating colorizing on the shaft to the tail and a very interesting Ek Seb in beautiful scales. The blade will clean up just fine.
5. a W.R. Case that also has very nice scales.
The most expensive group was the first at $40.00 for the three. All the others ( lots of 3) were 30 or less.




Today I picked up these. Now I won't bore you with the entire list but the first row has 7 W&B's,,( two less scales ) another Dbl.Duck Goldedge ( naturally the gold is gone but the blade and scales are great, ,,, there are 3 Jos. Allen non XLL's,,,a Henry Sears & sons "Queen" ,,,,2 De-Fi's ,,,, one stamped with a crown stating Russian Steel, ,, a Mondesir (?),, 2 Robeson sure edges, 2 Torrys, one marked "Our 136" ,,,a Red Imp, ,,,an early Jos. Elliot,,, F. Reynolds,,, and 2 more Ivories.
Except for the one W&B and the Goldedge ( $15 + 22 ) the rest ran between $5.00 and $10.00

"Last week I picked up these pieces" Wow, that was a casual remark. : ) You made some beautiful finds. I hope they all serve you well. Enjoy.

Where's your time machine and how do I get one!

You're gonna be busy this winter with projects. Nice finds.

Thanks guys.
As far as keeping busy,, between my own collection and resto's and work for others besides my own business,, yeah,, it'll be a busy winter for sure.

Great hauls! but..man with trident... actually a devil with a pitchfork. (wings might be worn off) Ek-Seb? or Ek-Sel? ...wasnt that made by Case?

Magpie, a devil with a pitchfork,,, sure,, I think it could be, I'll have to look again as it's quite worn. As far as Ek-Sel,, the way the loop connects the E with the L it makes the L look like a lower case B.. I'm sure you're correct as Ek-Sel makes more sense being a stylized version of Excellent,, or Excell. Thanks for the info I really appreciate it finding out more info on these pieces.
Sorry for my error. But I know there are some sharp eyes ( and knowledge out there) to help me along.
