WW2 German Binoculars, a Chinese Silk Embroidery, Etc.

Sales have been slow down here all summer. Couple things wanted to share that I found last Friday. Sold the spark plugs and the pewter tray for a fast nickel on ebay and made back the $20 I spent on everything. The binoculars are WW2 German late war, made by Carl Zeiss. The silk thing I don't know much about. Lettering probably says "made in China" lol Anybody?

All that for $20? Nice haul!

Cool 60's vintage spark plugs. I believe the screw tops are marine application?

Any marking on the pewter/silver piece?

Awesome purchase! What are your plans for the binoculars? I sure would like to have such a nice example of a WWII Carl Zeiss set of binoculars. The optics are awesome in them and I would likely use them for hunting.

Yup. The binoculars were the most at $12, I talked her down to $10 to make it an even $20 for everything. I actually have one of those inlay marquetry boxes from India or wherever that was part of the deal too that isn't pictured. I don't know why but I have a thing for little wooden boxes.

All I know is they were two stroke plugs so I figured they were for an old outboard.

Any marking on the pewter/silver piece?

Yes, it was from Elias Art Metal.

I couldn't find a comparable. I did find a lookalike (same mold looks like) that sells for $25. I based it on that one and sold it for $18.99 w/free ship. ASL Pewter :: Trays and Serving Pieces :: ASL Pewter Art Nouveau Lady Tray

Dang, shucks, ohh crap!! I am only waiting for my refund of my credit in my eBay Account, then it will be closed, so I can't bid on anything on eBay and have closed my PayPal Account as well.
