    Cool stuff, George. I'm sure that you will have fun and learn while doing the restorations. Thanks for taking us along. I spent NOTHING.

    George, I feel you're pain when it comes to staying in the budget. But you know it is fun when you find something to play with.
    I enjoy making old junk stuff into useful junk!
    You are so much fun for me to watch, you always make me happy.
    Have a great day, I always look forward to your next video.
    You're friend you have never met, just a old man in Oklahoma.

    Nice finds mate.
    I have had that same Zippo with the ship scrimshaw, about 25 years ago I guess. I gave it to my oldest daughter about 10 years ago. I guess I will ask her what she actually did with that one 🤔

    I believe the symbol above officer suisse is a crossbow. Great finds and yes flea markets have gone up quite a bit. That's why people always see me, a$$ and legs hanging out of trash dumpsters.

    Yeah, flea markets are not that budget friendly anymore. For leather those punches should work great. Cool knives, have fun cleaning them up. It's a lot of fun to see the difference when you are done. Really cool lighters, I have a very small Zippo collection. Great pick ups all the way around. Thanks for sharing and don't forget to give Merry some pets. God bless and have a great weekend.

    You did very well George with your selections. We have two antique shops in the town where I live. Both are very high priced for what condition the items they sell are in. Look forward to see how you restore your finds. Take care.

    Welcome to the wonders of flea markets. I think the knife labeled as USA is identical to the one I sent you a few weeks ago. Also thought it was a Camillus.

    • @2ndchancegeorge

  • @gizmocarr3093
    @gizmocarr3093 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The first knife you showed is a equal end Cattle knife pattern. You could say or call it a cigar pattern pocket knife. The Zippo with the scrimshaw was a bargain as a collectable Zippo. The Swiss Army Knife has the blade set of a Recruit however it depends on the size and not having a tweezers and toothpick makes it old or a different model all together.😼👍

    • @2ndchancegeorge
      @2ndchancegeorge  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ahh have to look that up. Good info. 👍. You maye right on the Sak. Recruit. I have ordered some new scales with slots. Hopefully fits. Not a fan of the advertising scales. Be sade my friend

    The blue SAK is the Recruit, George.
    The Cadet has a nail file instead of a pen blade.
    The Recruit is my favorite SAK.
    Bye the way ... the package from you has arrived, just in moment. I'm so excited ...

    You did great George! Flea markets by me are ridiculously expensive. The only knife you could find for a dollar would be a cheap Chinese knife that is broken!

    You can take off the written of the scales by sanding the scales with fine sandpaper then sand it with 1500 grit to bring the color back

  • @JoelPerri7777
    @JoelPerri7777 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The cattle knife you got that just says USA on it, a lot if ppl think it’s camillus, but I think it’s imperial based on that Spey blade and awl. There’s no way too really know, we all have our theories, and that’s mine. I actually have that same one. It’s a great knife, solid with great 1095 carbon blades. $65 for that case cheetah isn’t bad either considering what they go for, but it would depend on how full that blade is. I don’t collect case other than a few I like, cuz they’re just TOO collectible and it drives the market up like crazy. I prefer the vintage queens to case anyways. Another great video Georgie boy. Thanks for sharing

    • @2ndchancegeorge
      @2ndchancegeorge  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I hear you. Seems to me case is typical. Anything popu,ar it gets pricy in a hurry. Be safe

    We have the equivalent here n uk called car boot sale ,unfortunately because of the strict laws you can't sell or buy knives at one ,sometimes I wish I lived there ,its a lot better in most cases .God bless you and your family, and happy camping 🏕 😀 😊 🙏. Lee

    well shit George- you still work, you aren't retired yet my friend? sadly it seems we all have to work regardless of our age these days, personally i'll probably have to work till the day i die. probably one of the reasons prices have gotten so high even at flea market, auction, etc. the way our economy has been for so long it trickles down to to flea prices, and, all the resellers haven't helped the issue either, granted, i resell as well, but at a reasonable price, i don't have to screw folks over for every single penny i can get and make a millions dollars, i'ld rather sell something at a fair price on a constant basis so i always have a little cash in my pocket. nice pick-up on the tools too, i have always preferred to buy the vast majority of all of my tools in good used condition and never seen a reason to buy new at high prices if i can get get used tools at a great price, i mean shit! we're going to end up using the damn things anyway-lol , btw, i've been impressed myself with the swiss tech products over the last year or so, pretty decent sharp & shinny blades at a decent price in my opinion. well brother, i'll stop rambling on just wanted to say hello, i've been watching your channel for some time but i think this is actually the first time i ever made a comment or post. be safe and be well my friend.
