I've posted the Treasures for Tuesdays, or the treasures thus far anyway. It depends on how ambitious I feel the rest of the evening. I did come across a couple interesting pieces that I'm trying to decide if I want to keep them or not.
One is this Lunchtime Stein, I found one posted on ebay for about $75, the description reads Rare John Deere Ltd Edition 'Lunchtime' Lidded Beer Stein. John Deere Licensed Product. Limited Edition No. 535 of 1,000.
The one I have is 705 of 1,000. I think perhaps I need to do more research on this one before I let this one go. If anyone has more information, please let me know.

The second one is this Franklin Mint John Deere Pocket watch. I found a couple posted on ebay. One for $50 and one for about $100. I think this one is deserving of a little more research. Thinking back to the single toy auction my mom went snooping around at, if my memory serves me right, Franklin and Danbury mint items were of a little higher value.
If you are into either of those, I have SEVERAL diecast cars that I will posting, though I don't think I have hardly, if any boxes that they came in.
On to the treasures for today. First I've posted a John Deere pocket knife. There wasn't anything about it that was out of the ordinary that I was able to find. No special manufacturer or markings on it. I'm pretty sure my dad bought it just so he could add it to his collection of John Deere items. It has a couple nice tractor pictures on it and I believe it would make a nice gift.
Second, there is a SET of pocket knives. Each of them sporting a different tractor and scenery, these also come with a nice key chain. This might be a nice addition to someone's pocket knife collection.
The third item is a John Deere thermometer. Hang it anywhere to add a touch of John Deere to your home.
GOOD WOMAN WANTED: You must meet all those requirements. My dad said it was hard to find such a gal. Good luck to you!
You also see once again that I WAS NOT lying about the salt and pepper shakers. I've posted three more sets this evening. The tractor in the set with the tractor and the wagon does have a chip out of the other side. Contact me and I can send you photos.
The John Deere pocket watch as you see has a deer on the outside and the green on the inside. It does need a battery and could be shined up a bit.
Finally, you see the Harley coffee mug and wallet, neither item from the looks of it have ever been used. The wallet opens and has room for cards, ID and can hold a check book.
Not to stop there, but I have seem to have forgotten some things.
How COULD I have forgotten the kitchen canister set?
OR the timer?
OR the LAST set of salt and pepper shakers!
Someone could have a kitchen fit for a KING!
