Dan shared scans of a Traveller brochure he spotted on eBay.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a cool FC item.
“Kaiser jeep willys jeep forward control. This is a very rare whirl away ashtray jeep dealer promotion item. Purchased from estate of a man who owned a jeep dealership for many years. It is a chrome ashtray with a jeep fc on top. I have done a lot of research and only found one similar which had a cj3b on it. These were only sold to dealerships. And the fc was only made for a few years. You may never see another one. Looks like it will shine up nice . I lest the dirt and grime on it. A bit of rust where the ashes sat. Ask questions look photos over well.”
It has a good starting price.
” Super Rare 1961 JEEP Willys Government Sales Binder with lots of interesting pics, diagrams, brochures, specs and more. Excellent condition”
This 1964 Ad appeared in the Toledo Blade newspaper.

On July 12,1947, Lewiston Evening Journal out of Maine published this neat ad. Several other newspapers across the US also published the ad.
There’s lots of comic books and military items at this auction. The lot of Willys brochures looks interesting, especially that Willys Export Vehicle Program brochure.
