XLM MKII Improved Stylus
Item #: NEW-0017318

Click image to enlarge
This was removed from a turntable which was part of a great sound system.  When I relocated twelve years ago I did not have room for my components.  There are dents on the side, possibly made by me when I removed it.  The needle also appears to be bent as it is outside of the groove.  Count on adding a new needle.

Drive Ahead With Roosevelt License Attachment (Fake)
Item #: NEW-0016999

Click image to enlarge
I'm posting this reproduction of a car tag for Franklin D Roosevelt posed with Uncle Sam.  I fell for this one about twenty years ago and I'm now of the belief that it is a reproduction.  This matters to political collectors but probably not to old car enthusiasts who would buy it for the way it enhances his old car.  11 by 7 and a half inches.

Parade Tin Horn
Item #: NEW-0016349

Click image to enlarge
Yes, I bought this, evidently because it was there and maybe I felt like celebrating something.  There is some light rusting in places which I haven't bothered to try to remove.  It measures 16 and a half inches tall.  The thin handle is bent.

Jack Armstrong Pedometer-Radio Premium
Item #: NEW-0013244

Click image to enlarge
Complete but rust spots on the silver rim which can be seen in the scan.  I grew up listening to Jack Armstrong, the "All American Boy" and since my maiden name is Armstrong I was convinced that we were related.  What a disappointment that it took so long to arrive in my mail box.

Vintage Technics FM Stereo Tuner-Panasonic ST-9030
Item #: NEW-0012035

Click image to enlarge
This is the third item I am offering from my old sound system that I had to abandon when I moved from Nashville.  This was in good working order when it was connected but I can only say now that the light comes on as I no longer have any speakers. Am selling AS IS at a much reduced price seen on the web.  The tuner was purchased in 1981 but has been in storage for four years. It comes with the manual.  There are many scratches on the top of the tuner where I moved components around.

Vintage Amp-Phase Linear-400 Series Two Power Amplifier
Item #: NEW-0012032

Click image to enlarge
This falls in the category of doesn't fit in rather than why did I buy it. I was surprised to learn in surfing the web that my great vintage amplifier is more valuable now than it was when I first bought it in 1981. I shouldn't have been surprised as the older amps in most cases are superior to the newer equipment.  Evidently there are still  people around  who prefer the sweet sound of a nice sound system to an Ipod.  I enjoyed it for several years but it has been in storage since my move from Nashville about six years ago. The speakers were sold before my move so I have no way to see if the storage has harmed the amp in any way.  When I plugged it in the light came on.  It does have a cosmetic defect which was present when I first took it out of the box.  The light on the left balance does not move but I never returned it as the sound comes out of the left side. I am selling this AS IS since I have no way of testing it.  I'm pricing it significantly less than those that have sold on Ebay and the internet.  The manual and the troubleshooting chart accompanies the amp but after storage they are not as clean as they appear in the scan. This amp weighs a ton so buyer will have to pick it up.

Vintage Mandalian Beaded Purse-Painted Metal
Item #: NEW-0011600

Click image to enlarge
I had to buy this as it was just sitting there at a ridiculous price.  This great purse would have been carried by a flapper girl in the 1920's.  The purse itself measures 6 by three inches.  The only problem that I can see is that it is bunched up on one side close to the end of the metal frame.  I believe it is because it is not attached to the frame in this area and presumably it can be re-attached.  I'm listing at a fraction of the value of Mandalian purses I have seen on the web.  I'm out of my element on this one so please ask any questions you might have about this item.

Fake Younger Gang Cabinet Card
Item #: NEW-0011545

Click image to enlarge
I bought this years and years ago and fortunately have forgotten what I paid for.  It fooled me then as I didn't know then they were reproducing famous photographs and it would probably fool me now with my poor eye sight but this is why you should always carry a good magnifying glass with you.  Under 10 X you can see the tiny, uniform dots which tips you off to this being a copy.  Don't buy if you think you can sell it at a high price as I have written FAKE in ballpoint on the back.  Still makes a nice display as it has excellent clarity.

Miniature Deck of Cards in Leather Case
Item #: NEW-0011122

I bought this as I thought it was cute and old since it has a small portion of a revenue stamp stuck to it.  The dealer said it was complete but it is missing one card.  This is not the first time but it will be the last time that I take a dealer at his word. Selling at a loss, as usual.

Interesting Carved Shot Horn
Item #: NEW-0011063

Click image to enlarge
I found this beautiful and unique but it falls in the category of it doesn't fit in.  Note the upraised carving of the horn which measures twelve inches long.  It has a large opening so it is is probably for shots. Walnut wood on the top and bottom.  Some pinholes in the horn which do not go all the way through.

Pillars of the Earth on Cassette Tape-Ken Follett
Item #: NEW-0011037

Click image to enlarge
I know why I bought this.  I loved reading this great book and since it had been awhile I knew I would have forgotten most of it and would enjoy listening to it on tape.  It's a glorious story and I would want to keep driving just so I could hear it.  This is something you would want to take with you on a very long trip as it is fifteen hours long contained in 10 tapes.  It is taped on both sides and your car would require a balance feature.  I would think it would be present on all cars but I had to read my car manual to find it.   If you are listening at home only stereo players can access both sides. Oprah Winfrey proclaimed this book as one of the best she had ever read and I agree with that. Will be mailed media mail for a savings.

Tennis Whist Playing Cards
Item #: NEW-0010417

Click image to enlarge
You might ask what is Tennis Whist?  Exhaustive research on the web has turned up very little. Evidently Whist is similar to Bridge and there may be some connection to table tennis since they were often mentioned together.  Anyway this is a regular deck of cards but it has a graphic of tennis rackets on the back. The deck is from the National Card Company in Indianapolis & New York. Note:  I have one other deck available

Item #: WHY-009492

I've always had an affinity for little boxes but what to do with it now? The box measures 8 by 3 inches. Some wear in the surface as can be seen in the scan. The interior appears to be a white surface-milk glass maybe. I have thrown in three miscellaneous items that I bought for some reason. One is a packet of Victor Red Seal Needles (unopened), a 45 player insert and a Fidelitone Master record cleaning pad. The middle part had a phonograph needled inserted in it originally but it is gone.

Item #: WHY-009442

This lot consist of 96 yearly membership celluloids from the Building and Construction Trades Council. They measure almost one and a half inches. At least 31 are from different years and I may have missed some as the colors are similar on many. There are 38 duplicates and I didn't count the ones with condition problems. Total 96 buttons, most from the 70's but some from late 60's. Great lot for the dealer. If I still set up at political shows I would keep them. Will need to be mailed priority so allow for that expense.

Alvin C York Folk Art Chair-Dow Pugh
Item #: NEW-007930

Click image to enlarge
I actually know why I bought this.  I had discovered that I was related to him  Since my move, I really don't have room for it.  Chair was made by a  famous Tennessee folk artist, Don Pugh, now deceased. It is signed and dated as shown in the scan of the chair bottom. It's 34 inches tall, a children's sized chair. 12 and a half inches wide. Do not order through the website as I don't know what the shipping charges would be. Contact me through e-mail and we can discuss possibilities of pick-up or delivery. This was appraised at $1,500 by a knowledgeable folk artist dealer. York, was of course, the most famous hero of WWI and was from Tennessee.

Three items in this lot. One is a Delegate badge for the 30th Annual Convention of the New Hampshire State Firemen's Association which was held in Somersworth N. H. in 1927.
