Grandpa's Trebex
I am the keeper of my maternal grandfather's 9kt rose gold 1950's Trebex. Not a terribly valuable watch monetarily but it's dear to me, nonetheless. It still works wonderfully, too. I remember Grandpa wearing it with the 1970's Spiedel metal stretch band shown but I'd like some...
How about a thread for members to post freebies?
I haven't seen a thread of this sort yet though, granted, I'm still really new here. Occasionally, I have stuff I no longer need/want and I'd like to offer it here before I donate it to my local charity. If anyone is interested, post or PM me...

My skin has always been on the dry side, though I do not personally have to deal with eczema. For my face: Pond's Cold Cream to remove make-up, wash with Johnson's baby wash, then moisturize with Oil of Olay. It's...
I'm loving the stories so far, thanks for posting!
This find wasn't a valuable treasure but it was interesting, nonetheless. I bought my 1951-built house two years ago. Recently, my 5yo granddaughter was over playing outside and found this embedded in the driveway up near the detached garage...
I can't be the only one! What have you purchased that came with a hidden treasure? I've found old coins deep in pockets and gorgeous vintage brooches pinned on lapels of coats but I think one of my most exciting surprises was a WW2 Wrigley's Gum poster by collected poster artist Otis Shepard...
