I just got back from a swap meet. First time hunting in months. Scored some goodies. 1964-1969 Case scout type knife. I need to rescale it $5 blades are over 90%. An old Stanley Victor 3” clamp on bench vise $15. I like to restore small vises. Lastly a razor. Auto Strop B1 I believe in a metal case $3. I will be cleaning it up today. 

Man, I REALLY miss being in a state with REAL "swap meets" or "flea markets".  I drove all over Louisiana, and so far all I've found are places calling themselves "Flea Markets" then it's stuff from China (office supplies, kitchen utensils, Harbor Freight tools) that "fell off the truck" and sold for maybe a buck less (if your lucky) than I had bought it at a retail outlet.  If I do find something vintage, it's marked up so much that I can get it cheaper off the 'Bay (even with the shipping, even if it's the eBay in Australia!)   

Okay, rant over and I've tamped down my not-so-thinly-disguised jealously.  Seriously...nice haul, sir....congrats!
