THIS MORNING'S FINDS!

I hit one sale today, thats all for me. Nothing extraordinarily rare, but some nice pieces. I may flip the Edsel model as well. If it don't sell I might build it...someday. Can anyone tell me anything on that cool Union/Unocal 76 pen set? Looks high end? There is small sticker on the base that reads "Fine Marble Base Made in Italy".

I bought the ornaments because I already have a good start on vintage Christmas stuff. When I put this up for sale, I'll already have buyers. That, and the ice style ones match my rare GE ice bulbs. Oh and the orange and white Shiny Brite is a WWII era ornament, it has no silver lining inside.

I still have a bunch of models I tell myself I am going to build someday....

Really cool stuff! The pen set may have been on the desk of a mid-high level employee or distributor of Unocal products. It also may have been given out at a trade show to potential distributors.

Just my two copper discs.

p.s. I too have models I'll build someday...

Kinda what I thought, a high end employee or executive. But, I was never thinking a trade show or distributor. Would that pen set be kind of like a "Toy Fair Car" except for oil or advertising guys?


The ink cartridge is dry, should I leave it in or replace it? I plan to flip this baby. I'm thinking just leaving it in if functionality doesn't effect it much.

Nice ornaments! I love vintage christmas ornaments, reminds me of my childhood. I went to a sale yesterday of an old zippo salesman. He had several sleaves of lighters, pens and knives...all from the 60s. He wanted $45. per sleave which had about 20 lighers/knives/pens a piece. Someone came just in front of me and got all the lighters...thats the only ones I would have wanted. He took some others as well...and I just left everything else. Went down the street to another sale that wasn't so well advertised and picked up a really nice handblown glass Italian vase...trully beautiful for 10 bucks...about 60 years old...and perfect. Here is a picture.

Now that is beautiful! It is worth far more than what you paid, I'm sure. Did you see the Christmas ornaments and lights I scored about 3 or 4 weeks ago? I got some truely beautiful items. My favorite (besides the bubble lights, I wish I could test them), would be the complete set of GE Ice light bulbs. Just imagine those bulbs lit up on an aluminum tree with those ice ornaments in this thread.

LOL...yep, I remember those ice cicles...and the tinsle. Loved those days. nice finds!
