UPDATE: Seth shared the “Toledo Jeeps Fire Wagon Gang” graphic.
I play basketball whenever I can, which isn’t as often as I like these days, because my knees have been outvoting my desire. While I’ve never studied the history of different national basketball leagues , I thought I would have run across the fact that the National Basketball League (NBL) had a team in Toledo named the Toledo Jeeps for a couple years (1946-1948). I was surprised to find there’s even a page of stats for the 1947-1948 year.
Here’s a pair of photos from a program that’s currently on eBay.

Steve spotted this one. The photo sold for $129.50 yesterday. It was listed as a photo of the first Ford GPW, but this is actually (I assume) the first Ford GP produced.
“A Vintage 1941 Original Photo announcing the introduction of the U.S. Army’s newest midget car called a “Jeep” ! This small four-wheel drive utility vehicles would become an icon of World War II Jeep. Here is the very 1st one to roll of the production line. Original press stamp and caption with a 2-28-41 date on the verso of this early photo of the famed vehicle”
Here’s another army jeep lighter for sale out of Great Britain. This one includes a stand.
“table lighter built into a chrome U.S. army jeep or ‘ willys jeep ‘ – the jeep is fixed to a cut brass plate and stands next to an inert ordnance round sign which has been stamped with the name of the town BASTOGNE, which played a large part in the battle of the bulge, 1944.
The jeep is all cast metal – quite detailed – the lighter is built into the seating area and simply pulls out – the brass plate it stands upon looks like it was a section of a large grandfather clock watch face – the section measures 8 inches across – fixed to the rear of the jeep the round with the brass Bastogne sign.”

Richard owns several types of jeep trailers, but this rare Sterling Trailer just might be the most unique. He just got done sanding and repainting it. There’s very little information on the web about them and what I found I put together in this Sterling-related post. Thanks to Richard for sharing pics of this unusual trailer!
This is probably a rare shirt, because few people would be caught dead wearing it. I’m one of the few nuts who would wear it.

Between the headlights and the bantam-like sides, this looks like a Bantam-inspired toy to me.
“Offered is a vintage, 1950’s “Thomas Toys,” military police jeep w/ rare trailer. Trailer is the real value here, no doubt. Chief is approximately 4 inches and overall length while trailer is approximately 3.5″ in overall length. Jeep is missing siren, windshield, figures etc….
Trailer is intact and has seen little, if any use.
Colors are vibrant.
The only discrepancy is that One of four plastic tabs that hold the axle in place are broken. Please see photograph”
