    Can we expect a new Car Boot Sunday post tomorrow? It helps me convince my wife I'm not the only one with a taste for other people's rejects!

    Yes. Weather permitting. Two big ones here tomorrow.
    Hope you're not implying that your missus is someone else's reject....

    There was a small car boot this morning and I found only these two things:
    Tiny petrol lighter...probably for the non smoker

    And a clockmakers vice:

    Lighter works after fitting a spring lug spring to the flint hole:

    Nice patina on the vice. Is it brass or just rusty...

    Love that walrus bone ring box - bet if it could speak it would have a fascinating story to tell!

    Definitely. I read the story of the Challenger Expedition. It was both fascinating and scientifically a first.

    Great watch - and a good thing you're not refinishing the dial.
    At least if you want to pay a holiday with it it's best to keep it original.
