Bought myself a nice new handbag this morning  :angel:
And a bit of rust (hoping its British army rust  ;) )



Another nice haul Tony.  :cheers:

... I might be able to get a couple of these screwdrivers, completely new and unused,
over 80 years old, for about 10€ each...

Confirmed vintage?  I ask with all due respect.  Be aware, there are newer versions of these screwdrivers available.

These screwdrivers were what inspired me to the joke- they were found in a wooden box, afaik in the leftovers of an old shop.
I bought a couple of them for a ridiculously low price, only had to oil them and they've become one of my favourite tools!
As soon as I'm home from Japan I'll tell the full story !

They even work when they are this rusty but I will make knives from them one day  :tu:  ....

Any of you blokes from across the pond able to date this George Wostenholm jack knife? I just got it this morning at a flea market in Massachusetts for 40 USD. Its really tight, healthy blade and nice wood scales of some kind with an unusual grain, burl wood maybe?
