Maury spotted this unusual item. It’s pretty small. The starting bid price is $50. I’m not sure what the value should be; the seller isn’t all the sure either.

“Here we have an original ~ “OBSOLETE” VINTAGE KAISER-WILLYS GUARD HAT BADGE ~ that was recently acquired out of a Toledo, Ohio estate. I would imagine that this is a fairly hard badge to find. We could not find any other examples like it for sale. It measures approximately 1 7/8 inches tall by 1 3/8 inches wide. The over all condition is pretty decent with a few scratches from age and use and it does not have the little nut that screws on to hold it to the hat.  Original untouched as found condition. Would make for a nice addition to any advanced collection.”

These look like the same type of saucers that I got off ebay a couple months ago.

“Up for sale is a PAIR of new old stock, in the box Willys Jeep CJ5 coasters (possibly ashtrays or small plates).  They are in perfect, brand new never used condition, but the box has some water staining on the corner of it.  There are no identifying marks that show a manufacturer on them, but they certainly are vintage, most likely from the 1950’s.  I’m assuming they were some sort of dealer or manufacturer promotional item.  They show a detailed picture of a light green colored Willys Jeep CJ5 on smoked colored glass and they measure about 4-1/2″ in diameter.”

Just a few updates for Sunday. Regular updates Monday, including a post about an original Metamet catalog.
