Yard Sales, Flea Markets and Antique Shops 2023

[Aragorn243]

Stopped in an antique shop yesterday I only hit a couple times a year. Found a WWI mess kit dated 1917 which I had but they only wanted $5 for it and it had a 1917 knife in it. So I grabbed it. Looked around didn't see anything else so went back and went over this guys booth with a fine tooth comb and found a second WWI mess kit that sounded empty. Also $5. This one was a manufacturer I didn't have and dated 1918. I then notice the "sale" signs on the booth, 25% off. So I got the two of them and the knife for $7.50. I get home and am opening them and recording the information and I find a fork dated 1911 in the other one. It was jambed tight so didn't rattle around. Decent day.

1917 L.F.&C. and 1918 T.J.W.B.C. CO. Knife is L.F.&C., Fork is R.I.A.
