Packard pieces

[Eric351]

These were from my fathers collection. I do not know value or if anyone would want them. Thank you for any advice. Any money will go to my dad.

Best wishes for your dad, Eric. He is fortunate to have a loving son to help him. 

 

As an automobile related aside : I remember the day you were born fairly well, although in a very different context. I celebrated my 21st birthday that day. My friend Tom Cain took me out beer drinking in his "Jagmobile". XK120 drophead with an Olds V8 and a Pont' hydramatic. Tom lost his right arm on the sad side of a bicycle-automobile accident at a young age. Never let it hold him back. You should have seen him play baseball. Make a catch, flip the ball airborne while dropping his mitt, catch the ball again and relay it on. The automatic in the "Jagmobile" was a factor in his purchase. However, he certainly could crossdraw shift a manual trans while steering with his elbow. Tom taught me the crossdraw shift which I learned well. Allowed me to otherwise occupy my right arm when in the automotive company of a friendly lady.

Someone wants every one of those items. Not sure on values.

The emblem in the upper left is a prize !!!  The rest are just nice Packard emblems.  Most all have a decent value.
