Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing these Saturday morning photos from the Bantam Festival’s jeep history display. You can see Roger’s M-677 and his FC Fire Truck in a couple photos.

Mobile Drill Brochure Parts & Operations
This 22 page brochure is something I found on a non-ebay auction. I had to buy it with some other stuff I already had, but I couldn’t pass up this rare (perhaps 1-of-a-kind) brochure. I hope it helps someone down the line.
Great Willys Picnic and Bantam Fest This Weekend
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.

“Two 2X 1960 Jeep/WILLY F150 trucks 4X4 They were being restored one seems to have a brand new engine and lots of bodywork on it. One is titled couldn’t find the paperwork on the other so it’s going as a parts car..”
1946 CJ-2A Shandaken, NY $12,000
UPDATE: Thanks to Gordon for pointing out this link that discusses another jeep that a buyer in France is trying to acquire after purchasing it. https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/need-help-to-pick-up-my-cj2a_topic53340.html, which is *think* is by the same seller.
Andy shared this very stock 2A for sale. I suspect this is another jeep that was a part of Andy’s collection.
