nautical antiques

On those occasions when I want to give a gift, I usually come here to find something.
Sure, the place looks like a garage but that's "local color".
Coming here I know I'll find something more than a tchotchke; I'll find something that attracts good luck.
My thinking is that anything that spends endless years at sea and survives long enough to be called a nautical antique (rather than flotsam or jetsam), had a lucky life at sea and on to the person I'm gifting, that luck will rub off.
