Old gold digger probably lost these

The blades on the Whittingslowe knife Part No 41 still open and close smoothly.
The Glass on the Magnifier has suffered but it is still a nice find.

Thanks for your comments folks. It is always nice to dig up something 'different' It's a bit like a time machine, history was being made as they lost these items. Then we find them and lose ourselves in imagination as to how it happened. I reackon the old blokes would be smiling down...

That knife and eye piece is worth a mint, don't take less than 450 to 500 for it

That old loupe is just beautiful. What a cool pair of finds.

Re: Old gold digger probably lost these

Thanks Guys, Na, I wouldn't sell them anyway. It dosen't show, but the glass is still in the loupe, it is just a bit scratched.
