Today I acquired...........

[johnny7]

Went and bought a canteen of epns cutlery today fot £20!!
There was a single egg spoon missing, Looked like it had never been used and had tarnished, It took me just over two hours to polish the lot and then wash them to get rid of any residual polish!

It should have been a fifty piece set but is now forty nine!!

Picked these up for £5 earlier today. With case and all lens caps. Bit grubby and will benefit from some TLC. Optics are perfect. Crystal clear to look through

Gold coated eyepiece glass. Internet tells me they are quite good

I bought a couple of sets of those ring spanners. One to butcher and one to keep in truck box. The seem ok. As long as they’ve passed TuV they’ll be fine.

That's almost theft at that price! Excellent score. Pentax has been a dependable brand for a long time. I have an old pocket-size Pentax binocular that I've had for maybe 25 years. Still sharp as a tack.

Had a walk round a local bootsale today, Brought a few bits home!

I bought eight clamps with around an 8" opening for a quid each!
.......................

Also picked up a couple of other bits, A small telescope, Parker pen refills and a watch that is as dead as a dodo!!


John

^Nice!
Which body style are you going to use?
That engine looks to have one of the late Mike Scott-Coomber's oil filter conversions.

Dont show winch boy, he has been looking at them for a few years, currently selling his collectables to finance the workshop roof and general repairs.

[Fraserb]

[James1979]

It’s been like that here for a while. The did say it’s just about peaked but not so sure myself

 

[Hood]

I never buy steel but rather alu and stainless. I pay as I go so no surprises also not noticed a huge change, once it went up about 5% but next time it was back to normal, then again the last time was a biggish offer so...

Those bring back some childhood memories, my father had the same or a very similar pair on his fishing trawler. They were a permanent jammed in the side of his chair feature.
