The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[capnwes]

Does anyone know what these are? Found them with my fathers affects. Could these be lock picks?

Some sort of latch hook puller. My mom has something similar for crocheting. Those look like they would mount into a knitting machine or something.

Edit...like this maybe...

Thanks all.

I didn’t feel like hitting the thrifts yesterday, so I got out on the Saint Vrain in my thrift-funded inflatable kayak. This thing is a beast.

What's it made of? Inflatable makes me think that it won't last. Just need one rock and GG

I don't like politics but this is too good not too share .

 

[double00]

yes those are latch hook needles and yes for a knitting machine. they match to specific models, gauges etc and get damaged and need to be replaced...

Something we don’t see here very often. Do we have any scrimshaw experts in the house?

I grew up in new york and we would often go to cape cod/Martha’s vineyard. Guessing these were bought there sometime in the seventies. I know it’s illegal now.

I only know about scrimshaw by way of pool cues. But it can be very expensive and prized. Also, it's a really cool bit of history.

Im going to have a really hard time not replying to every California Dreamer post with a terrible joke from now on.

But remember, we're only third seat fiddle, he has far more important people to make fun of him.

I can definitively say that those are not lock picks, they look a lot like crochet hooks. I only know this because I've been known to spend time around hookers here and there.

Hey all, first time posting here.

Some guy from my town posted this for sale on local facebook group and I think about going to take a look at it. He's selling it pretty cheap and I'm worrying about autenticity...

Has Versace ever even made jackets like this? Can you give me some tips what to look for when I go take a look at it?

Thanks already
(Summoning @SpooPoker , I lurked a bit so I know what to do lmao)
