A few great retro finds

Heres the booty from todays shopping:

First and foremost a timbuk2 large laptop bag! Purchased for $2! It’s brand new! It’s $170 on the timbuk2 site.  I have a timbuk2 messenger bag that I’ve been using for a few years, ultra rugged, waterproof fabric, but missing a divided pockets that are handy in a bag.  My new large laptop messenger is a little bigger and has a few well placed pockets.  I also like it because it will hold my Mr. Bento, thermos, and a water bottle.  I normally lug all of these to work looking a bit like a refuge traveling with all of their worldly belongings.

I hit another sale and found a cache of cool retro vintage bits

Highlights include a wescott bull’s eye pocket watch ($4), its not very accurate, but it loud tick sounds awesome. The gold tone watch is a Seiko S3 ($2) it runs and appears to be fairly accurate.

I also picked up three old pocket knives ($2 lot) a cool flippy wallet and a black leather cigar case that make great pencil holders.

Oddly my biggest purchase of the day was lunch of a braut, bottled water, and a tasty cookie.
