Vintage Washington D.C. Navy Anchor Lapel Pin.  My Mom got this pin from a gent she dated during WWII (before she met my Dad of course).  He was an aviator in the Navy during WWII.  He stayed in as a career Navy guy and from what my Mom told me he was assigned as some kind of Attaché in Washington D.C. just prior to the end of the War.  The pin has some minor bumps and bruises, the most noticeable defect is the wear to the plating. 

Vintage 1949 Luigi's Pawn Shop Good Luck Horseshoe Token. The front side says "Keep Me and Never Be Broke" "I Bring Good Luck" inserted in the middle is a 1949 Wheat Penny. On the Back it says "Don't Use It See Luigi First", then the Yonkers, NY address. Someone apparently took the good luck charm seriously and drilled a hole in it so they could put it on their keychain. Look closely at the top of the coin in the middle, you can see that it's slightly warped.

Vintage Martin Wells Rod Saver "Cub" welding electrode holder used in the box. The rod holder has been used and has some bumps, bruises, dings and scuffs (see pics). The box bears the same as the holder, but the telling tale is the Martin Wells address, Los Angeles 1, California. This dates it before the common use of Zip Codes in the early 1960's. 

Vintage 1970's Kryptonite 4 Motorcycle Lock 15 5/8" Long X 6 1/4" Wide. I bought this lock brand new in 1975 for my 1966 Honda CB-77. I loved that bike and wanted the best protection money could buy. There are scuffs and scrapes (no rips) on the plastic covering and corrosion on the exposed metal parts as well as on the keys. It still has the original two keys and works just fine. I don't know if they build 'em like they used to, why take the chance and find out!
