Hit the local antique show last weekend. found 8 small bags, plus 7 very collectible old straight razors. Bags were older ziplock type, total price of $36. There were stickers under the paper labels, total price of ~$240. keepers are in the bowl.

Agree pre-Jabo. the blue is not typical MK… maybe foreign?

The pics don’t do justice to the extent of pink, and the faint green is really blue interior. thinking MK but…🤔

Oops…left town.🤪

2-3/8” donkey sulphide!!

These have been in my collection for years, starting to sell locally.

I’ve got maybe 6 silver fruit knives, some with pearl handles, other have silver handles. I think one is Gorham. I collect knives as well.

Stash of 16 glass fruit knives, plus a glass fork. quite the variety, several have etched monograms. never seen a glass fork before.

Shh… they need to research it😎

It is a tough topic to deal with. I too am downsizing. I’m selling some commons at a local antique mall, doing well. The higher end mibs are a quandary for me. Not looking for profit but getting them into the hands of collectors who appreciate them. Not looking for flippers who want to make a profit reselling. i’m selling off my Blenko collection, as well as my civil war and hard times tokens, and military knives.

Simple but rare 3-ribbon cork.

Where’s the 1/2-cent, large cent, 2-cent, and 20-cent?

Many of us older collectors have 1,000’s of mibs sitting in boxes and jars that need to see daylight to budding collectors. sign up and enjoy the experience!

I’m in!

collected by my grandfather. muscovite

I forgot to add straight razors.

Made a big pot of Turkey and rice soup today. Cooked the Turkey carcass and added 6 cups of rice. I added hatch green Chile to my bowl.

Why can’t I paste a link?

I’ve got a sample from a mine in New Mexico. Will dig it out and take pictures.

When I win I’ll buy you a store!

My wierdest job paid the best. For the last 17 years I have audited commercial properties for energy efficiency. I found countless cases where there were design/construction deficiencies the no one ever exposed due to liability issues. I exposed them and subsequently, and typically got fired for doing so. Talking millions in liabilities. I have finally said screw it and retired. I have never been happier to get out of the industry.
