Day 27Tightened another pair of sunglasses. More knife-mail opening...Also, I'm making a giveaway too:The prize is *something* that I've added a little touch to. The winner is *someone* who participated in this challenge.The package already left this morning. It will probably arrive a few days after this challenge ends.I ask that the winner post about it here but only when he or she receives the package.I'm not kidding
Day 28Here goes my first submission in the "longer Swiss blades" category.Here's an officer dagger 1943 model (with sub-officer "lanyard") from Elsener.These are blunt pieces meant as "parade gear" (or whatever that's called) (Image removed from quote.)Quite often the price of these is defined by the type of lanyard (the Officer's lanyard making the piece way more expensive) and the condition of the lanyard. Mine being a sub-Officer's lanyard in not-so-great condition, the price was reasonable I've seen some officer lanyards (without any dagger) in very good condition go for more than I paid the whole thing xD
Bought myself a brushed aluminum PTC since I have a small PTC collection, maybe 5, but I didn't have this style.(Image removed from quote.)

The scales originally were on a Classic, but I put them on my Vagabond.
I don't have any spinners, and yes I could post a watch or two, but I'm certainly guilty of collecting Fisher Bullet pens. They're very good for fiddle/distraction factor in meetings.Here's my shiny gold Titanium Nitride bullet pen with The Red Baron !

Day 28.To bad most of my A&W Root Beer mugs are in storage. Here's one that I haven't been able to put a date on yet. I believe it's from the late 50's early 60's.
