yard sale item - SOLVED

[B|lker]

I was on my way to drop a flyer at a prospective spot today and found out they were having a yard sale before the property gets sold and bulldozed
I hope my flyer and past phone call peaks some interest in family relic finds that will be returned to the homeowner, i`ll put the silver and gold in my underwear

I dug through some boxs and found a buck knife just like one i`d recently lost and the neat brass whatch ma magnifying thingy for $1.00. Any ideas on this thing it`s hinged at 2 places with only one hinge left.

After that i left to do some real digging coplete with a palm blister and found the dirtiest 1935 dime i`ve ever seen.

Thanks for reading and looking.

Bigcypresshunter i thought it was weird that you were able to mark my post solved so quickly // twice//?

Are you a moderator?
Your info on how to mark solved was very helpfull.

Does anyone have the exact dimensions of the thread counter versus the finger print or pocket magnifier?
Inquiry minds want to know. (At least i do .)

I enjoy Mrs O`s and everyones 2 cents on this site or i wouldn`t even post here.

Here`s a side pic using a ruler.

Mrs O you sound like me with the chemistry set
I didn`t get my first real microscope until i was 40 something.
I swear iv`e never burnt an ant with a magnifier only burnt holes in wood and started fires with one

Thanks for the info Jeff of pa, i guess i owe BigCy a real apology for the accusation, maybe i can put all of you up in a Holiday in next time your in town.

Again thanks for sharing everyone.

No apology necessary lol. I also thought we were all in agreement as solved.

I believe (not positive, but I believe) my dad told me he got it when he worked at a place called "Stafford Printers". (Connecticut)


He worked there when he was young, and their big product was parachute silk for the armed services. (which would definitely explain a "hard to see" thread count that was VERY important.

I add this, because I still have a piece of the rolls of silk they produced (handed down, of course).
