Stuka f Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 This threat can include any finds coming from car booth sales, house clearings, auction's or fair's. To start with my flee market finds of past WE, including some militaria! cheers |<ris
Mervyn Mitton Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Stuka - some good early material. Notice how the centre of the boot one is made to look like medals. Your two really collectable ones are the flare pistols. Are the British or German - looking at them, I think the big one is probabaly British - perhaps a Webley ? Certainly a good day out. Mervyn
Stuka f Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 Hey Mervyn; it was a good day out! The flare gun's are German and American for the bronze/ golden one. A pistol I never heard of before, but it is a PARACHUTE SIGNAL GUN, VK-M12
Stuka f Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 The bigger one is a; Ww1 jga german flare gun
Mervyn Mitton Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 From the china pin trays - the one with the Queen's head is a 1953 Coronation souvenir - probably by Wedgewood. Mervyn
Stuka f Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Don't know how to bring this one in without the wife notice....
Trooper_D Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Don't know how to bring this one in without the wife notice....And I think I have problems, trying to smuggle books in to the house! (My wife insists on 'one in - one out'. How unfair is that?) Best of luck, Stuka. Edited September 15, 2015 by Trooper_D
Stuka f Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 Haha!We had that rule (one in - one out) for my wife's shoes! But to get that shoe story in balance she should get 3 out for any new pair coming in!Anyway this was a very good subject (the shoe's story!)to start in order to get the tank in!! Thanks Trooper_D! Here are some other items waiting to get in ;-)
Trooper_D Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 We had that rule (one in - one out) for my wife's shoes! But to get that shoe story in balance she should get 3 out for any new pair coming in!Women and shoes - yes, I know all about that Our collecting is entirely different, of course
Stuka f Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 So it is! I keep on telling here; imagine all the shoes you will be able to buy, when selling my stuff after I am gone!;-)
peter monahan Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Absolutley different! No one NEEDS that many shoes. It borders on obsessive. No my collection...
Stuka f Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 I had a house clearing last week and found this quiet nice tray.Not military related at all and yet....I think it's is going to be a keeper!
paul wood Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Kris,It will stop your beers staining the table.Paul
Stuka f Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 Hey Paul, I rarely drink alcohol at home!But do visit my local pub, or others, 4 to 5 times a week! ;-) I'll take it with me as a personal coaster.
Stuka f Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 In the same house I found a map of a well known( over here!!) painting with the artist's signature in pencil on it.The guy is called Henry Luyten and had his workplace not fare from were I live.He was a great painter, but nothing special to that.Here it comes; he painted a portret of Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen and figured in the German propaganda magazine Signal.
paul wood Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Hey Paul, I rarely drink alcohol at home!But do visit my local pub, or others, 4 to 5 times a week! ;-) I'll take it with me as a personal coaster. Good excuse to buy your friends a drink.Paul
Stuka f Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 A big surprise with the big tin cars, they seem to be yonezawa toys and sell well (in good condition!).
paul wood Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Kris, Lovely to keep your valuable medals in, do not lift it yourself, hernias result from this. Paul
Michael Johnson Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Back in the day when the wife and I had time to do things, we go downtown. When we meet up, Terry says, "The antique store has a badge you might be interested in." So, with no great hope I go to have a look. A Canadian Militia helmet, with Pattern 1908 Star Plate to the 31st Regiment. Traces of gold paper (amateur theatricals?). Sadly missing the screw attachment for the spike/button, but 100% authentic ("au jus" for our French friends). And how much? $35!
Stuka f Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 Great find. 5 hours ago, Guy said: Kris, Great find. I like it. Thanks Guy.
