Alex, "one-quarter scale" means 1/4" equals one foot in miniatures. If a doll is 1/12" scale, and is 6 inches tall, in 1/12" scale the doll is equal to a "person" who is 6 feet tall. The round, white item you found would be way too large used as a curling rock, but could be used as a different object, say a foot stool for a 1/12" scale miniature setting. It's fun looking through your finds with you. Never know what we'll see. :0) Donna B.

Pocket knife at 11.28 is a WW2 military issue knife. My grandfather had this knife during his service during WW2 and gave it to me when I was 15. The spike is actually for cleaning out sod from the hooves of horses originally which obviously by than had become redundant but they still had them. Originally issued to cavalry personnel. Apparently used by the navy too as a marlin spike (for splicing I guess). My grandfathers is definitely army issue though. Still has the makers marks and army issue marks. My father currently now has it. It looks EXACTLY the same as this one. My grandfathers if I remember had 1942 stamped on the ricasso of the blade. Tough as nails. You could run a truck over them and it wouldn't scratch them. Good find.
