Terry Bond Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Love the small stuff. A lot of it fits into a shall display case. Here is a cool stickpin I picked up not long ago - gold with a small diamond for the headlamp. I display my stickpins in small pin-cushions shaped like early automobiles. Perfect way to show them off. Terry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoneyPit Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Terry’s parts store is incredibly interesting, I could have spent weeks there and still found things I hadn’t noticed! Someday I will have to get back there. Old garage items are fun, here’s a couple of more things to look at 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Gary, it's obvious you've been collecting a long time. You've got some amazing stuff, and well displayed too. I marvel at Moneypit's displays of badges using radiator shells as frames. Others-showcases, framed items, shadowboxes, etc. I've got a passion for old country-store display cases, which often need restoration themselves. Every photo gives me ideas for my "museum." Only problem, I'm running out of space! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 A few items from one of my display cases. The first item is a tin bank. Second & third, a cardboard folder. Fifth item is a plastic lid for some sort of lubricant, I believe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bloom Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Terry, thanks for posting. I have two thoughts: 1- 1977 was just a little while ago, except it was 44 years ago! 2- I have little to no willpower to pass on older auto related things that are priced at under $30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 My late father in law was a Snap-on dealer from the 1950s to 1988. I have several items including catalogs from him. I thought you might enjoy the catalog listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 The drinking glasses might have been holiday gifts or thank you gifts. They came in several sizes from juice size to water glass size. The screwdriver is 50th anniversary (1970). The other items I think were dealer only items like the tie clips. Belt buckle was an item available to the public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary in MN Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I think Morris Chamberlain like to advertise. How you can get your wish is dated 1923. Changing the habits of a nation is dated 1924. Delivering in every sense of the word is dated 1922. Common sense and the Ford dated 1922. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 I just love seeing all of this, thanks everyone for taking the time and effort to get the items out, scan, possibly resize, etc and then post it here. It is why I started this , it lets you have that door open to the way it was when our old cars were new. Merry Christmas everyone . Be thankful that we are here to see and read this.

md murray Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I recently found some really neat scratch-built models definitely made by someone who had lived and seen in the era of the great classics. There are so many little details, 11 of them in total and all different made from tin and wood. Unfortunately they have suffered from yrs of poor storage but I'm taking the time to clean and revive each one. Sure would love to know the history behind them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past four years my ' fleet" has been downsized. Sold my stock 1931 "A" pickup, 1928 roadster pickup with a 60 hp v8 that I built from pieces, 1918 T roadster with a 4 valve RAJO and a Dubats new counter weighted crank, and my 1913 T touring puzzle pile with a Ray wells body. I still have a 1962 Impala SS convertible with 80,000 miles, 1928 "A" roadster pickup with a Riley two port OHV head, also 1926 "T" roadster with a Depaul OHV, Himco cast oil pan. Gary Are you still downsizing? I would be interested in the 62. Tried messaging you but it didn’t allow me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, Most of those pennants look brand new, which is amazing for how old they are. For those who don't know, the Alter was an assembled car built in Plymouth, Michigan. The only known example was donated to the Plymouth Historical Museum and is on permanent display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Having looked at so many fine Ford related items I thought I would share this one. A children's comic like book put out in 1923 by Ford of Canada on how everyone can use the “Ford Weekly Purchase Plan” to get a new Ford and a framed cardboard Trolley Sign advertising it as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 And here’s a birthday gift from my wife, a 1939 Chevrolet dealer plaque which is related to the three other items showing. The coin has been around as long as I can remember and matches the open book award and the Go-Getter trophy both being from the previous year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
