Sunday's Show and Tell...11/27/22

[non-fixie]

Looking for some old papers, I came across a shoe box with old watches. One of them was a pocket watch that said 'Omega' on the dial, which was enough to forget about the papers and spend the rest of the evening finding out what I could about the watch.

Not sure how it ended up in my closet. Best guess is it belonged to one of mrs non-fixie's deceased relatives:

The movement appears to be a calibre 38.5 LT1, and the serial number suggests it is from 1940:

The case is probably from 1943:

Our pal Caber Ed @my560sec sold me these sweet green 26" Goodyears thru Ebay, as described, NOS but pretty stiff, so likely remain display/was the plan all along, have them with my NOS 24's mounted on my Silver King Wing bar and the excellent repro's John made/chain treads.

After owning a black Xonex model repro over 20 years, I decided a red one would feature brighter with my "Outer Space Blue" '60 Bowden prototype. I posted this in another thread, so I'll keep pics at a minimum.

I'm buying K&O Japan toy model outboards again, so when a duplicate '56- 30 hp arrived this week, I decided to mount it on a 1940's ITO Japan hydroplane I had. The colors seem to compliment each other. The hatch doesn't fit perfect, but so what? Dig the lights in the front pontoons!

I continue to help sell items, organize etc. from a late friend's estate and every time I go to the house, I come home with another restored outboard motor. This is a 1961 -5.5 Fisherman. I get kinda a "Star Trek" image on this one!

I can't help myself. It's like a kid in a candy store.

Had the amazing Tom Clark restore a sd license plate and finally got it back this week, not Tom’s fault, lazy mailman wouldn’t walk five feet to the box, but Tom put it into a box and sent it out again! Thanks again @TWBikesnstripes

Also received couple items from Brant this week! Thanks again @New Mexico Brant for the item’s, now just need to find the original reflector I hid from myself! Didn’t realize how small the pin was….lol

Dime for reference to size….hahaha

Oh ya had Tom paint those colors on plate because they were the colors for’36 in California that year, matches the motorbike year!

Making a bicycle mudflap. It will have two layers of leather and a formed piece of plastic sandwiched in between,
