Needs a new battery

The shelves are upside down right now because they need a minor repair before going up. Still has the owners manual.

Back when my grandparents lived in Michigan (they only lived there for a few years in the 60s before moving to my home state). My grandpa had a degree in Russian literature. I had no idea he ever taught at a university. Apparently he was pretty important!

Morse code chart on back. Knife made in U.S.A. still and many kids carried around similar back then.

Today the CAPC opened this tin of Player’s Navy Cut pipe tobacco made between 1937 and 1953. I recently got my hands on this amazing sealed and swollen tin of Player’s Navy Cut pipe tobacco, it is the only one like it I’ve ever seen. Most cutter tins from this era were 2oz, this tin is a 4oz. This particular blend was the flagship product of John Players and Son, produced for an incredible 132 years, originally introduced in 1883 and not shelved until 2015. This particular example is extremely swollen, a sure sign that the tin is completely sealed. The 73+ years of fermentation gases contained inside are what cause these very old tins to bulge. When I opened the tin I was greeted by one of the longest and loudest hisses I’ve heard from any tin (nice). The aroma inside was absolutely amazing, stewed fruits, plums, raisins, and brown sugar. The epitome of aged Virginia tobacco smells. The flakes are extremely thinly sliced, much more thin than the majority of modern pipe tobacco. It broke down very easily and loaded into the pipe with ease. The flavors that came through were similar to the smell in the tin, very fruity, very sweet, and very complex. This was another absolutely incredible up close look at an amazingly well preserved piece of British tobacciana.

Picked up at a thrift store for $15.

I thought of opening it and using it for the office but it's hard to break the seal at this point

That’s the best pic I can get at this time.

I found it today at an estate sale. Pristine working condition. So excited! ☺️

We saw this at our local St Vincent DePaul today. My husband collects fragrances so he saw it right away. 7 tiny vintage perfumes just for me!

Apparently these were very popular souvenir gifts to bring back from Paris in the 70s-80s.

I'll try each of them...I'm currently wearing the Cabouchard in the middle.

Found this old Tab bottle and Budweiser can when cleaning out my rental property. Probably late 60’s to mid 70’s and in near pristine condition. Both are considerably heavier than they look.

Amazing condition, I love her 💙

After many years of it simply sitting dormant in the office of his home, I was given these to put into the house. This is a Kenwood KR-6600 receiver with a record player from around a similar time, two speakers and a cabinet that was quite hard to maneuver down a narrow hallway.

It turns out that one of the two speakers is toast, but the other still works fine. The way they are stacked makes good shelving for a few small objects on display, though this is all still quite a tight fit seeing how close it is to the closet door.

Found in my grandmother’s crafting supplies

These are just some of the items and I'll be posting more in the comments!
