Fairfax Tru Value Bracelet - B

I’ve been going to swap meets since I was about 6 months old. My dad was an avid picker of trade stimulators, basically games that you could put in a bar to keep people there and entertained. He loves the old slot machines, and really anything coin operated from a hundred years ago. I watched (and assisted some) as he would rebuild these elaborate machines in our garage, from junk to pristine. With no electricity, just gears, cogs and springs, I was always amazed at how my dad could make these boxes of bits hum their mechanical ballet. I still have a good bunch of them and the wonder hasn’t faded a bit.



So, back to this bracelet. I still go to swap meets and look for inspiring gadgets or trinkets. Rach and I hit the Fairfax swap a bunch of Sunday’s each year. My folks went to Fairfax High, no wonder the place makes me think of Buddy and his spring-loaded contraptions. So here’s my new link, it’s a pretty basic Curb link, more open than the Model 10, B&T or the Curb Chain series. Here for this introduction of the new Fairfax link I’ve paired it with a bendy version the Tru Value.

Fairfax TV. The bracelet your dad would were if he was Fly aF and liked swap meets.
