Post your under $50.00 purchase...

John C. De Wyell was a knife manufacturer in Livonia, Livingston Co., NY, Cascade. He was born in New York in 1837 and died in 1913. His wife's name was Hellen, but I found no record of them having Children.

Btw, a circular buttress is a specially shaped cutting device to trim horse's hooves so their shoes would seat properly. It looks like a middle ages torture device, but apparently did a good job on horses.<lol> Nice find, Cascade.

$8.70. Images by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

 

Great Thread Idea!!!

Love the variety of eye candy, some great toners. And looks like some great buys as well1

Just about everything in my collection, excluding my Morgans would fit in here.

 

Wow. Thanks Bruce. That's more info than I could find. I found a schematic of his buttress but didn't know what it's purpose was. Time frame certainly fits. A counteratamp guy on another forum thinks it could have been the guys pocket piece like maybe he was a mason and used it for identification etc. and maybe if I could find an example of his buttress it may be stamped in the exact font and block to verify it was him. Looks like this is the guy all right but it's still only circumstantial I guess.

 

I'm sure this is your guy, Cascade. The surname is unusual and the things we know about him seem to fit together. I couldn't find out much about what kind of knives he manufactured, but I plan on going back and look around some more.

The stamp was probably used to mark his products. As the other man said, the coin may have been a pocket piece, but I doubt it had any connection to Masonic membership.

Picked up two 64 proof sets last week. under 50 with tax. (Antique mall)
both AH Kennedy's.

 

Nice accented hairs!

 

My latest addition, a 1990 Prestige Set. Less than $25.00

Came with box...but no COA
Anyone got an extra one for this set?

 

$38 for a 1921 set. There's a 21 Dime and a 21 S Walker in there. That should more than cover the price

 

But-but-but no quarter?!

Nice snag!

 

I wish there was a quarter. But alas there is not. Still a great set.

 

Now that's how you do it!! Nice job!

 

Nice pick up!! I'm on the hunt for an AH set to put in my collection. I sold the last set I picked up instead of keeping it. Now the hunt is back on.

 

Posted this in new acquisitions but it was under $50, cost me $20.

 

Nice!! My Walker Whitman came with a 21s (luckily) all I need is a 21p and of course, 21d.

 

I got all the below for pretty close to melt. A bit less than $20 combined I believe. Got to love low grade coins at estate sales



The bust detail of that 1964 Kennedy is sweet @Pickin and Grinin. Great pick

 

Heck of a deal! Sure the previous owner is happy that, they went to someone who appreciates them.

 

Thay can be had for cheap. I got mine for $25, but the allure of flipping it for $150 for something I actually care about made me get rid of it.

 

Well, a recent post on page 25 of this thread rekindled my fascination with '40-S Mercury Dimes. Here are a few recent acquisitions that were each well below $50.

 

$46 including shipping.
