Long Range Desert Group Lighter

This tiny LRDG-styled lighter is something I’d been keeping an eye out for. It’s smaller than I expected, just slightly larger than a biz card (or in this case a Fred Smiley’s old club card, which is something that accompanied a different purchase). I forgot to take a photo of the bottom, but there’s no identifying information there.lighter-lrdf1 lighter-lrdf2 lighter-lrdf3 lighter-lrdf4 lighter-lrdf5

E-Stopp Parking Brake Arrived Today

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The tour jeep’s E-Stopp parking brake arrived today. I couldn’t get a very good sense of the size on the seller’s website, so I have photographed it on one of Ann’s cutting boards.

UPDATE: Matt thought I should add this billboard to this thread.

==========================

This really neat color slide documents a Setaro’s Willys Motors Billboard ad. The only issue I see is the price of $79.99! Setaros was in New Haven, CT. I’ve included an ad published in the Yale Daily News Newspaper from January 13, 1948.

View all the information on eBay
