TerryB Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I just found an old advertising pencil, a basic yellow #2 type with eraser on one end, that advertises two automobiles available at the Jno. F. Longenecker dealership in Lititz PA. One of the autos is Chevrolet and the other is a Marion-Handley auto. I have never heard of the Marion-Handley auto brand. Anyone ever see one??The same box of pencils contains one advertising Reo and Maxwell cars and trucks at Zimmerman's Garage in Manheim PA.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hemmings featured a 1917 a few years ago.http://www.hemmings.com/hmn/stories/2012/08/01/hmn_feature17.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks for the link, Dave. Seems like the Marion-Handley was not too popular of a car. I doubt any still exist. The box of pencils was from an estate sale. There was another one in the box that advertised a dealer in Lancaster PA that sold Plymouth and DeSoto 6 and 8s. The DeSoto logo was printed on the pencil and its the early 1930's sheild logo.I have a postcard too from the Lititz dealership from the 1920s. By that time he was selling Chevrolet and Carter Cars. Seems like the dealer was always carring some other "different" brand besides Chevrolet.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
