Picked up my second Tony the Tiger club key fob at the flea this morning. ('Houston, we do not have a problem', and I will not be dropping it in the nearest mailbox to return it to its original owner!)

 

[GalaxyRat]

Here's a Leak-Proof Piston Rings ruler, date unknown. Does anyone know if that's the maker's mark in the circle at the bottom of the ruler?

I picked up this sweet lil charger this week It's only 3 1/2" x 4" x 6 1/2"

Picked up this Grote No. 70 Flameless Flare set (reflector set) this week at an estate sale, as posted in the GS thread. Currently undecided if it'll go in the truck for emergencies, or in the garage as a collectible. Grote is still active in the automotive lighting field, but I haven't found a catalog yet to find out how old the set may be. Guessing 60s/70s.

Here's a handy item for your next outing when you want to enjoy finger sandwiches and tea.

Schrader Tire Pressure Gauge (patent 297298)

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Wow! Way cool, Arne! And perfect for the kind of in- or on-the-car paraphernalia I had in mind when I started this thread. Have you had that long? Or is it a recent find?

Here's a handy item for your next outing when you want to enjoy finger sandwiches and tea.

Wow! What a great idea! If someone was smart, they could adapt this thing to hang on the outside of cars and then combine it with burger joints and waitresses on roller skates! I'll bet the country would beat a path to his door!

Here is a keychain screwdriver that has been hanging around in the garage. I cleaned it up and took a couple pictures

The TRICO vacuum powered fan was in 9 truck-loads of Old IHC pickup truck parts. I bought a storage unit. the storage unit was full.
I have two sets of these YANKEE mirrors. IHC is stamped into the frame. The hooded turn light was on a 1952 L110 IHC.

The ESSO Tiger reminded me that I always carry the Goodyear Blimp with me.....





Like a good tire salesman, I can always check your tread!

[Private Lugnutz]

Found this balloon tire gauge at the flea this morning. I like the tinted glass. According to a radio museum site linked here, Lundquist Tool & Manufacturing made all kinds of meters and gauges under the "Yankee" brand name, they were located at 144 Green Street in Worcester, Mass., and were sold and changed their name to LUTCO in 1945.

Marquette Battery Charger, NY Empires Winnies Winnebago club placard, among a few other goodies I bought in a haul yesterday,

 

[Smokeshow69]

Let’s post that Proto set in the Proto thread! Nice haul.

 

[don long]

Looks like an old hutchins air sander in the middle of your new stuff. I like the battery charger. I have one just like it waiting its turn for attention

 

[NYBODYMAN]

Let’s post that Proto set in the Proto thread! Nice haul.

It's mostly complete except for a few sockets.

It's actually a Craftmaster Profitmaster. Never heard of it but I liked the vintage look. It doesn't work too well so I'll be in the shelf.
Any idea of the vintage of the battery charger?

 

[Smokeshow69]

I think I maybe have a mostly complete set between my plomb and Proto but that’s really cool to find it in the flying lady box no less. Nicely done!

I grabbed a couple 1915 Overland wheels. That solid rubber is heavy as hell! They’ll be a match for my Toledo Pope wheel, which was made in the same factory 1904 or ‘05 until 1910 when John Willys bought the Pope plant for his Overlands. Eventually it would be the home of the Jeep Wrangler.

[Odd Job]

That's a great model. Built it when I was 12 and learned a ton. Seen newer versions but they aren't electrified. On the early ones, the dizzy lit up the red spark plug lights at tdc on the compression stroke. So cool!

 

[ooba tooba]

Overland wrench.

Hanging up at our History Museum

Here is a flyer I found several years ago at the Tahoe flea. Other than the two extra doors it’s very similar to my Wife’s Falcon. I never liked that car but it was reliable. Bmwrd0, check out the dealer stamp.

[Ayrhead]

Here’s 4 different presentation programs that dealers used for training purposes. They look pretty complete with the record, safety film and literature… All for the Chevrolet Corvair

 

[d42jeep]

Speaking of which, my daughter bought this for me. I always wanted one of these but this is as close as I’m going to get.
