Peoples old things for sale in some shops that have been around for ages..
This picture, nor the coins in it, are mine, but I have a handful of these nickels; they never fail to give me the same 'minor thrill' that DSC gets.
Note the morse code message spelled out on the edge of the 1943 and 1945 pieces.

Just to round out our wartime 5 cent picture show here is a 1942 Nickel (pulled from my change), 1942 Tombac and a 1944 Chrome. I am just a working man so I could probably never afford a 1944 Tombac Victory. Please forgive my poor editing skills, I guess after almost 5 years here I am still "new".

I notice the rust on your 1944 and it makes me sad to know that all of Canada'a mint output is now plated steel and will suffer that same fate. On a happier note I promise not to post anything else about coins, returning you back to the previously scheduled Then and Now forum.

"Marathon Watch Company is based in Richmond Hill and their watches are sold to various countries. The one shown has 'US Government' on the dial
and was destined for a US government contract."

May I suggest when travelling to/within the US of A that "The Watch" is not part of you habit?
(Even if you were to declare it.)

Are you sure that we are not the same person
