Here are a few of my better finds from the last few weeks. None were what I consider to be a home run but some singles and maybe doubles:

A Zippo lighter that appears to be from around 1950-52 based on the bottom writing and # of holes in the chimney. Works after a new flint was installed. If any lighter experts can confirm this looks authentic and my dating is in the ballpark I would appreciate it. Cost was $8:

A watch that has a 1 gram platinum ignot in the face (cost was $6):

A men’s Eco-Drive Titanium Citizen diver style watch that was $1.50. Not running but may just need the capacitor replaced:

A sterling and turquoise bracelet made and signed by a Navajo artisan (Harry Spencer). Cost was $5:

Nikon binoculars for $9 with case and owners manual:

Wow good scores I love the thrift stores I have hauled pounds of silverware out of some by me. Well done
 

The watch w platinum seems like it would have a precious metal case too if it has a mini platinum bar inside..

Unfortunately no. These are pretty common on eBay and the only thing platinum is the one gram ingot. The watch is an inexpensive quartz watch with a regular band.
 

That’s a great haul of items! Love the early zippo
 

Super buys. Congratulations :icon_thumright:
