Hess Rescue Truck


This Hess truck was actually a gift, Its at least 12 years old. Its not NIB,however the truck is in great condition and the box has a little wear. I know some of these are great collectibles and very popular around Christmas.

Cheese Grater


This is an old style cheese grater. Its upside down in the picture. It actually can be secured to the edge of a table and has a wooden block to press down on the cheese. My grandparents used this long ago. No identifying marks other than what looks like the number 4.

Eisenhower Stamp


I found these 2 stamps in my front yard. I thought for sure they would have a high value. Thought it was a weird to find them.

Argus update


From a previous post of the Argus camera,I finally found the flash attachment buried deep in the garage. I'm not sure if the even sell the flash bulbs for this. The image is not as nice as the first. Will adjust soon.

Camel Joe Zippo


I actually found this Camel Joe lighter in a parking lot several years ago. I have not used it or even added any butane. It does spark but that's as much as I know about its ability.

Cigar Box


What about a Garcia cigar box? Its a bit beat up around the edges. These particular cigars were Garcia Grande Cubs costing 5 cents each. I don't remember ever seeing my grandfather smoke a cigar.

Argus Camera


This camera actually belongs to my father. Its a very old Argus black and white camera. Haven't used it in a long time,but when I did it worked very well and took great pictures. It has a leather wrap around case. The strap did tear off from one side. I have the flash Assembly that connects to the side (not shown),I just have to find what box it is in.

Sterling silver


I have a set of 4 silver stem cups. They need polishing. My grandfather used them for whiskey. They have a small mark on the bottom stem which looks like either a 1 or C,not sure what it is. Maybe its part of the manufacturing process.

Sugar Bowl


One of the things I have from my grandfather is a sugar bowl. I'm not sure if it's truly all copper or not. The engraving on the bottom is E.P Copper 412. It needs to be cleaned and there is a small dent on the base. I think it has a great color to it. Maybe it's worth something,maybe not. Anyone know?
