Ever notice that most of the stuff on ebay is "Vintage"?

vintage is a fancy way to say old --- means more $$

It's amusing to come across everyday items with military stamps on 'em. I found these weights in the scrap metal pile at my local dump:

I believe that USN has something to do with extrusion steel Dominion USN.

Tony, can you expand on that? Do these have nothing to do with the US Navy? I hope I haven't embarrassed myself here. :P Thanks for your insight. (sorry Mojjax, I didn't mean to steal your thread).

Still looking for an explanation. As I recall it had something to do with rating, alloy, or testing.

Its an all purpose squeezer. Oranges, lemons, anything else that will fit. It may very well be Navy surplus also. I remember my grandmother had one in the 1950's ..

DG! That's not possible! That would make you 125 years old.

Never mind. It is possible.

Both of these objects marked "USN" may be for/from a company called "Ultimate Sports Nutrition". They sell body building supplements and may have sold equipment in years past (I don't know for sure...).

The squeezer is much older than company you mentioned.
