1898 Aguinaldo 2 Cents Revolutionary Philippine Goverment Stamp



    Last week, I was looking for old stamps in Makati Vintage Shops. I did find some old stamps but the good old stamps seem to be elusive.
   Today, someone went to my office and offered me his 3 old Philippine Stamp Albums. The albums contained some used stamps that date back from 1854 to 1950's! Some stamps are still in good condition and some have already deteriorated due to age.
   The photograph below is an example of an 1898 Aguinaldo 2 cents Revolutionary Goverment Stamp. This stamp will be auctioned in a popular auction site today.

Vintage Rado Purple Horse Automatic in Stainless Steel Watch



     A few years back, a customer had asked me if I'm selling any Rado Watch. I told the customer that I don't have any Rado watch in my inventory. But I promised the customer that if I can acquire one Rado, I would sell it immediately to him. After a week, I did sell a Rado watch to that customer.

    Before, I focused on and buy only Vintage American watch brands. I have Hamilton, Bulova and Longines in my inventory.
   
    The photograph below is an example of a Vintage Rado Purple Horse Automatic in Stainless Steel Watch. Though the dial has acquired a patina, it still looks beautiful.

Vintage Seiko Chronostop 5719-8992 Manual Winding Watch



    When I started buying, collecting, and selling watches, I have to admit that a Seiko brand is not on my list. I focused more on American and Swiss watches, until someone introduced me to Vintage Seiko Chronographs.




   This is a Vintage Seiko Chronostop 5719 -8992 Manual Winding Watch. The dial has acquired a patina due to age. The bezel has some scratches. The movement was cleaned and the watch is keeping time.  The chronostop function returns to zero perfectly. We fitted the watch with an after market black Italian leather band.

1916 Mercury Dime Coin BU Full Split Bands




   This is a good example of a 1916 Mercury Dime in Briliant Uncirculated condition. If the mintmark happens to be a "D", then I will be very happy because the Denver mint is the most sought after Mercury Dime of all time. A 1916 D Mercury Dime in BU Full Split Band Condition usually commands a price of $10K or more.
