Couple of antique fair finds.

Took a trip to a local antique fair this morning, found a few bits, nothing too exciting, the GSTP Marvin is pretty cool but the dial side is trashed, movement is super clean and its trying to run. Any idea what the OU8919 on the case back of the Ingersol stopwatch could mean? Nice Omega branded Victorinox case back knife too. The 80s LCD was just a bit of fun, really wanted one of these as a kid, trying to figure out the melodies now !
All the above for a tenner wasn't bad.:single_eye:

Worth it just for the knife Jase, some interesting gear there!

Thanks Kev, I agree, nice little thing.
The GSTP came on a nice brass chain too.

OU - has a Cambridge student nicked an Oxford University science department stopwatch?

More plausible than the Open University that was my thought.

Great haul for a tenner Jase!

A nice little find, that knife.

Does the LCD watch play 'The Entertainer' in its repertoire?

Is the knife a normal SAK (a student, maybe?) or a watch one?

It’s a watch one Marc, blade and case back lever, the blades have been battered a bit through poor sharpening but I’m sure I could make them look a bit better with some work.

Excellent, thank you

I'm sure I had one of those digitals as a kid and it played 'Yellow Rose of Texas' as one of the tunes...
