An Old Timer for an old timer.

[mikeraydj]

Went detecting on my birthday. Not a lot of good stuff. My Minelab likes the pulltabs. I did find an old button with a floral pattern and still has the shank. Then I found an Old Timer pocket knife with rusted blades. Maybe someone could help me with the dating of both.



Sorry about the quality of the photos but have a crap phone.

Happy B/D to you - pocket knife picture is a little blurry, I bought one (3 blades) like it probably just over 20 years ago can't remember where, I thinking Sears. I can't seem to get pass pull tabs & square tabs myself - anyway thanks for sharing your pictures and story with us & wish you many more while out dirt fishing.

The old timer is classic made by Schrade that has been around for 100+ years. The handle doesn't look that old. Can't see enough detail (two-piece?) on the button to help, but congrats on the finds and your birthday!
