We are selling a vintage set of 4 Triumph hubcaps on Ebay. These measure 9
7/8 inches. We think they are called the dog dish style. Each hub cap
has the original emblem. As we understand it, these were made for
Triumph models TR2, TR3, or TR4. We found these at an estate sale at an
old house in Kentucky that had been closed, since the owner's death,
for about 15 years.
Condition (see photos too):
#1: no
chrome loss; great shine; one very small surface dent center left top
outer edge; very small amount of little bumps on the chrome in first dip

loss, colors are very pretty; back of the hubcap has a lot of it's
original red paint.

scratch on side outer edge as well as a small dent; only a handful of
little bumps in the chrome in first dip down going from top edge towards
badge; badge has very small loss of enamel, great color; back of hubcap
has a lot of the original red paint and an area of dried grease.
#3:
no chrome loss; couple scratches and a tiny dent on outer edge; hardly
any little bumps on surface, but this hubcap doesn't shine as much as
the others, it has slightly more fine surface scratches; more enamel
loss on this badge, but overall not excessive, great color; back of
hubcap shows a lot of red paint, some of the paint is starting to lift.

outer ring; has many small bumps and some larger groups of bumps on the
inner rings going towards the badge; badge has greatest loss of enamel,

SOLD! Vintage 1950's Mid Century Modern Kid's Fish Rattles by Ideal
SOLD! We have an adorable pair of mid century, 1950's, fish rattle toys for auction on Ebay. Both are made of plastic. The green one has no maker mark, we can still hear the rattle inside, it has no chips, but it has some age crazing. The blue fish has the maker's mark of "Ideal", was made in USA, we can hear the rattle inside and there is something heavier inside, perhaps a weight for when it was used in a bathtub? The blue fish's surface color and paint is really, really nice, there is a small crack starting on one side of the head. These would look great in a child's room.

SOLD! 2 Vintage Art Deco Paulding White Porcelain Wall Sconces
SOLD! 2 vintage Paulding porcelain bathroom fixtures in deco patterns. One

have great porcelain, but the one with the pull chain has a small mold
flaw on the bottom edge (see photos). Both fixtures have the Paulding
name on the back.

5 Antique Desk Drawer Locks With Key
This is a set of 5 antique locks with their matching key. The locks
were in the drawers of a beautiful European desk that was destroyed by
movers. The desk was over 100 years old. We do not know the exact
country of origin, but the family the desk was inherited from lived in
Germany. Three of the locks measure about 3 3/4 inches x 2 1/4 inches x
about 3/4 inch at the widest point; 1 lock measures about 3 2/5 inches x
2 1/5 inches x 1 inch at the widest point; 1 lock measures about 4 1/5
inches x 2 3/10 inches x 3/4 inches at the widest point (see pictures
with ruler). The inside of one lock is covered in dusty fuzz, 2 locks
are really clean for their age, and 2 locks have a small amount of dirt -
we were reluctant to clean them as we do not know much about locks.
The key locks and unlocks each lock easily.

1950s Vintage Sloppy Joe's Havana Souvenir, Cuba
SOLD: Tonight on Ebay, we have a great vintage Havana, Cuba collectible. The item is a rare, 1950s Sloppy Joe's Havana Shell Souvenir Boat. The boat was handmade
out of shell, wood, and wire. There is a nut and screw that
holds the body of the ship to the base of the ship. We cannot
detect any damage or repairs to the ship. The shell has a
beautiful patina. On the left bow of the ship is carved "Sloppy
Joe's Havana". Before the revolution, Sloppy Joe's was a
hot spot for rich and famous American movie stars. After the
Cuban revolution in 1959, Americans no longer visited and the
restaurant/bar struggled. Sloppy Joe's closed in Havana in 1965
after a fire. The ship measures: just over 11 1/4 inches
x 12 1/2 inches x just under 3 inches.

7 Sun Ra Rare Vinyl Records, Jazz LPs with Hand Drawn Labels
SOLD: This is a group of really interesting jazz albums. The first two records are really odd.
They are both in the same plain white cardboard cover. We do not know
if the two records came together or if they just ended up in the same
plain white cardboard cover. Each record has a hand drawn / hand
printed label - descriptions of them follow under #1 and #2.
Click here to go to the Ebay Auction
1. The plain white record label has the
following, hand written on it, in blue marker: El Saturn, Sun Ra (that
is on both sides of the label). The engraving in the dead wax area
says: first side - Sun Ra B17877A; second side - B17877B. Record has
some fine marks on both sides; it also has one very short mark that can
be felt with a fingernail. Plain white cardboard cover is in poor
condition.
2. This record also has a unique set of labels. What
I'm calling the first side of this record, has a colorful yellow,
purple, and brown drawing with the letters RA drawn into the center of
the little work of art; I'm guessing the art was done with markers. The
dead wax on this side of the record is hard to read, it looks like it
says: MS706 MS81976A (or does it say MS706 MS87976A). This side of
the record has a lot of surface marks, but only one scratch that can be
felt with a fingernail that we can detect. The other side of the record
has a white label with an abstract drawing in purple marker. The
writing in the dead wax is again hard to read, we think it says:
MS81976B (or does it say MS87976B). This side of the record has a lot
of surface marks, and a couple of very short scratches that can be felt
with a fingernail.
3. Super-Sonic Sounds: ABC Impulse
Records, AS-9271, 1974. Lots of fine and light scratches on both sides
as well as a few scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. Label is
in great condition. Cover is in poor condition with overall wear, a
puncture mark, a hint of ring wear, edge and corner wear, and a small
split where LP goes into the cover.
4. It's After the End of the World: NO
COVER. MPS Stereo, BASF 20748, date is 1972. Poor Condition - surface
scratches as well as scratches that can be felt with a fingernail.
Labels are in really good condition.
5. Jazz in Silhouette, Sun Ra and his
Arkestra: ABC Impulse, ASD-9265, date is 1975. Record has a number of
fine and light scratches; labels are in great condition. Cover has edge
and corner wear, hint of ring wear, a large crease at one corner, small
crease at another corner, a puncture, and a split - inside of cover
looks good except where the puncture comes through.
6. Saturn presents Sun Ra and his Solar
Arkestra: Side A is KH98766, Side B is CPLS5421F, date on cover is
1965. Record has fine and light marks with only a couple of scratches
that are deeper, but can barely be felt with a fingernail. Labels are
in really great condition. Cover has a crease on one corner, edge and
corner wear, a puncture mark (probably from store that sold the record),
start of a small split on top edge, touch of ring wear, a small yellow
spot on the back of the cover.
7. The Invisible Sheild, Sun Ra and his
Intergalactic Research Arkestra: NO COVER, El Saturn, 144000, no date
on the record label. Record has some fine, light marks and a couple of
deeper scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. Label is in really
great condition. There is no cover.
