Treasures from the flea market

Post by cosmic2000 »

Hello to all

You never know how threads devellop until you start with one ...
Well, I love and visit flea markets, wherever I go. There are so many treasures to find especially when you are a watchoholic. So why not start a thread about what you have bought with your last visit and - if it was a watch - how you brought back live to it.
And what is more, describe what the market was all about for those who might visit it in future.

So here we go:

Saturday, 12th of May, Antiquemarket in Delft, Netherlands, close to Rotterdam and Den Haag. Beautiful market within the old-town, a lot of Delft' ceramics to buy, lots of mechanical alarm-clocks, very few wristwatches, lots of cafes at the side, very fine people selling fine goods.

And what did I buy? I call it "a third hand" with magnifying glas. I will test it next week with my new built.

And now you - where did you go and what did you buy? Image

Cheers cosmic2000

Great thread, we had one on HF1.0 that turned up some gems. Not many of these where I live but if I trip across one I'll be sure to contribute.
