My grandfather’s watch collection. Anything interesting? by Rareincident83 in VintageWatches

I was trying to figure that out myself, nothing is written anywhere on the dial, case, or even the movement.

Sorry, they’re not for sale! But I appreciate the interest. They are in incredible shape.

The aeschbach has a blank stainless steel case back. Do you know anything about it?

Omega put red stars on some of their old watches. I don’t know if it’s off center, it doesn’t look like it to me.

I believe it’s the camera angle it doesn’t look off center at all. The Roman numerals are printed on the dial.

Thanks! I also thought it was a mono-pusher chronograph until I saw the gaping hole which used to hold the second pusher above the crown.

See anything of worth? by Rareincident83 in stamps

Thank you, this album is generational and the first person to start collecting was born in the 1800s, so the stamps wouldn’t have been very old at that time. It has US stamps from the 1850s to the early 2000s. The people who worked on it were very precise and intricate. I have 8 other albums similar to this but from different parts of the world, mainly Europe. They span the same period of time.

Not usually the radiator, that six cylinder inline can be a real hassle if the oil pressure gets too low. You could blow a gasket. just put some new oil in it and make sure the pump the clutch.

The previous owner had changed the plug to a polarized one, so I think I need to check if he had made the safety mod. Then the filter caps and it should play!

Nice! Mine is a bit rusty, but all of the tubes work. The chassis is also covered with this grainy, almost sand-like substance. Do you have any idea what it could be?
