Yes. $17 CAN …I think it’s called The Classic. It cost me $8 for a new battery.
I like the style of it., and the band is nicely made in genuine leather.

I wondered whether it is a tuning-fork model.

Anyway, you got a good deal.

I've seen these enamel trays in antique shops before. They usually run around 25 or 30 bucks. I never really felt the need for one til I found this one in the thrift store for $4. It ought to liven up Thanksgiving a little, if nothing else.

I use mostly thrift store plates and platters as saucers under potted plants. No good reason not to.

Heck.... I use em as plates and platters. Every dish in my house came from the second hand store. Figure even the finest restaurants I've ever dined in fed me on used plates.

^^^^^^
I got lots of thrift store saucers and salad plates, but dinner plates are mostly used restaurant ware, old melamine, and a stack of a dozen or so I call Fauxesta, because it kinda resembles Homer-Laughlin Fiesta but was only a buck apiece at the dollar store.
