lol a few thousand dollars old

I saw this beauty today while chit chatting with an old man. One of my favorite patients haha And I asked him how old this was. It looked like a very old fossil. And he said 'Lets just say it a few thousand dollars old haha!'

Well I see. lol

He said he ---->picked<----- not licked, it up around 1930 when we was in the Swedish navy. I don't remember where his ship was but I guess some place far away hahaha
