Ran out of time and could easily run out of money at the Webster Florida Flea Market. I've been to this market a few times in the summer but in the Fall and winter it appears to really be something! Honestly I've never seen so many piles of knives and very few imported Zombie killers and such. It appears that when the Florida summer weather starts to break, the Snowbirds come south and bring all sorts of goodies to sell on Mondays.
It was like a giant circus, about 40 acres of vendors. I only made it down 3 rows.
My pile today is a mixed bag:
There is a Camillus, NIB 72 Yellow Jacket etch, still with the cellophane wrapper.
A Case 22087 that needs a little buffing on the slick black. It has oxidized slick black handles.
A couple of junkers, a Camillus Boy Scout with shrinky dink handles, I guess it's the 72 pattern? and a Case Tested that I believe is a 5253, no meat on the blades.
I saw a "big full" pocket knife with its' round shield missing, picked it up and it was a Case 6592. Never sharpened but allowed to rust a little and it's SS. It is an NKCA knife, blade etch on clip says "1972 NKCA 1982" over "Decade of Growth". On a blade that appears to be a pen blade, "1 of 1600" is etched. The mark side front bolster is stamped "0811".
Also found a Case 6265SAB w/sheath, used condition.
Then there is a Western S-6504, it too is used. Delrin handles.
Then there is the one I think is the prize for the day! Both handles are missing about half the bone, the shield is still hangin' on and after a drop or two of oil this Platts Bros. Andover N.Y. knife will bite! It also has 1/2 stops on both blades. Steel bolsters and brass liners.
1907-1909?
