( Oh, sorry- forgot to mention that it's still first of April over here... sadly... but the flea market I was talking about is about to be tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) )
... still a bit shaky, so sorry for typos and bad pics, but you'll see why...Some of you might remember that thread about the infamous Victorinox Walther-knife that I thought to have seen at a local flea market. That flea market pauses in winter, but today was the first time this year- we planned to start quite early, but since I was on a great MUSE-concert in Munich yesterday, I just couldn't leave my bed early... and that was my luck!!We arrived quite late, about eleven-ish, at the fleamarket and I quickly found that seller again. Had, as always, some knives, but no Walther and he couldn't remember if he had ever sold one. Well, that's your luck I thought, but I hadn't been too sure about that Walther anyway.The rest of the market was nice, the first fleamarket in the year is always better! I came across one of the sellers who always buy huge batches of things, often from capsized companies or old stores. One of the sellers had heaps of rusty stuff from an old hardware store, owner died - store closed - wife left everything as it was for decades. Packets of nails, even some brand new antique tools- sealed in waxpaper, some a bit rusty, some like new. I had to decide how many of the excellent antique screwdriversif I would take- they were 8 Euro each.First I wanted to buy two, but I went for three, just to have one in spare...You only see two screwdrivers in the picture since the next layer in the old box didn't consist of the screwdrivers, but contained 40 very different packages. Smaller Packages... containing something I had never dreamt of...See next post...
