Rained out on Sunday

I wanted to sell at Pasadena City College Swap Meet this past Sunday, but it rained and so all the stand-by spots were allocated to permanent dealers who wanted to get out of the rain and into the parking structure.

So I decided to go shopping instead. Here's a short list of the things I found:

Here's my haul from yesterday (spiraling inward from top center, clockwise): 
1. Antique shawm (early oboe relative)
2. Magic lantern slides from England
3. Imperial Russian brass tea box
4. Cloisonne opium pipe with agate mouthpiece
5. c1820 spoon & fork
6. 1937 King George VI & Elizabeth coronation plate
7. Jumbo fountain pen
8. Crystal match striker
9. Engraved cameo conch shell
10. Sterling silver cigarette holder
11. Kaywoodie meerschaum cigar holder
12. Antique pipe stem (don't have a use for it now, but there are more pipes sans stems than vice versa)
13. Christopher Johnson straight razor
Time to photograph and list most of these on eBay or Etsy. The rest will have to wait for the next swap meet I'm able to get into.
