So … this was on eBay yesterday. I’d patiently waited to purchase it, even setting my alarm clock. However, when the day and time arrived, my phone was away from me charging. Meanwhile, I was distracted researching this book 1000page-plus cook book from 100 years ago (1920 in fact), which I found while doing some ewillys posts yesterday (I was killing time awaiting the eBay auction end).
My supportive wife was very excited when I showed her the book images, as she knows I like a good old cookbook. She started chanting, “buy it, just buy it, buy it” … but no, I couldn’t at that price. After some research, I found a free copy on the Internet Archive, but looking through 1000 pages on the IA just isn’t the same as having the real thing in my hands. Eventually, I found a MUCH less expensive copy through Amazon, which Ann purchased for me as a gift (she’s hoping I’ll cook some food from it).
By the time I returned to this eBay auction, it was exactly 2:15pm, the same time that the auction ended. My timing couldn’t have been any worse.
Oh well, at least I got a cookbook out of the deal! Here are the two images from brochure that were posted to eBay.

I hate ebay , its very addicting , remember when I got a brand new north face ve-25 tent for 25 bucks ? — lady made a mistake in the listing , was supposed to be 425 bucks — she honored the price , but made me feel terrible , so I sent her an extra 200 to shut off her tears ..
I just purchased a 1967 CJ 5 barn survivor. It has your all-steel top and is excellent condition. I need the right side door hatch brace. Not sure of proper nomenclature, but like the left side, keeps the hatch open. Can you help me?
Mike,
You might get lucky find the part on eBay or from a private seller, but most likely you’ll need to manufacture it.
I would suggest posting your question on the earlyCJ5.com site. Maybe someone there has an extra brace or a parts hardtop for sale that isn’t worth saving.
