Anybody else into antiques (besides edgecut antique micarta).

[mpjustin]

I appreciate history and most antiques but mainly prefer nautical themed. I am not a photographer but figured I would take the HDFK’s in Antique Micarta and Burlap for a quick photo shoot with a few nautical pieces. I still need a brass dive helmet.

First up is an old Perko Anchor Lantern with nice thick fresnel glass.

Next up a solid brass cleat weighing 50 lbs.

A large 4 dog port hole from what I was told was an old navy ship. (I have a pair of these)

An old 1930’s / 40’s General Electric solid brass / copper flood light.

And lastly a forged wheel from Delano Bros. (pic takes with flash as the lighting was bad in the room.

I do not collect antiques, but certainly do appreciate them.

Thanks for sharing, mpjustin.

The antique Micarta was surplus from an old ship builder. They had been using it as a bearing material where the prop shaft exits the hull. I believe it dates from the 50s or 60s. Nautical theme...

That’s great Nathan, thanks! Got to love a handle material with some history!!!

Would you mind putting aside enough Antique Micarta with my name on it, so I can purchase all my future blade offerings in it? (Seeing how it now fits so nicely with my other pieces).

If I want to see an antique, I just walk by a mirror.

my one antique is this H. Gerstner & Sons machinist tool chest. It stores my knife collection and sharpening stones. It is from the mid 1940's.

Here's a real antique. Doesn't get much older than this.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I think this also classifies as nautical

I guess I'd also have to say I'm into antique woodworking tools. Here is a very old block plane I inherited from my father in law. It was a rusty bucket of chips and cobwebs when I got it. I got it restored back to working condition, but still very rustic.

Tr love that chest I'm going to have to look for one now
