Mint vintage stamp album with red leather cover
I found a mint vintage stamp album this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the San Diego Central Library near the Park Blvd entrance. It has a deep red leather cover and clear plastic sleeves, with stamps dating from the 1930s to the 1950s peeking through. The outer corner is a little worn, and there's a small pencil note inside that reads 'For the collector with a slow day'—clearly a serious hobby item. If the owner sees this, I’d love to reunite it with you; it clearly means a lot to someone who cares about philately.
Silver pocket watch with initials J.R.
Found a silver pocket watch this afternoon around 2:15pm in the Gaslamp Quarter, Market Street near Fifth Avenue, just outside a vintage shop. It's an open-face watch about 4.5 cm in diameter, with a sunburst pattern on the cover and the initials J.R. engraved inside the back, plus a short tarnished silver chain. The glass has a tiny chip on the edge, but the watch still ticks when you shake it. I know this is probably someone’s cherished heirloom, and I’d love to get it back—if this sounds like yours, share a detail like the engraving or the chain with me.
Vintage 1977 Kenner Star Wars figure
Found a vintage 1977 Kenner Star Wars action figure this afternoon around 2:15 pm near Seaport Village along the Embarcadero in San Diego. It's about 3.75 inches tall, wearing a blue jumpsuit with a white helmet, and it has a small paint wear on the legs and a faint crease on the helmet. The figure is loose, not boxed, with a couple of tiny wear marks that are visible up close. I'm a collector myself, and I know how it feels to misplace a piece of a small set. If this sounds like yours, we can arrange a quick meetup near the waterfront.
Vintage 1980s Star Wars action figure set
I found a vintage Star Wars action figure set this morning around 11:30am in the Gaslamp Quarter, near Market Street and 4th Ave. It's a mint-in-box 1983 Kenner set, with the original red and blue card back and a clear blister showing the figures inside. The box has some edge wear, but the figures look pristine and untouched; packaging still carries that faint cardboard scent from the 80s. The set includes Luke Skywalker with a blue lightsaber and Princess Leia in her white outfit; one figure even has the original blaster tucked in the packaging. I figured a collector would want it back, so here I am—if this belongs to you, I’m happy to meet downtown near the Convention Center or coordinate via message.
