Seth spotted this odd eBay auction. I can’t imagine a context that would have produced such a pin. Is it truly vintage? Jeep Clubs and Victory? Or is that V for 5?

Is the USMC serial number on the side normal? I don’t remember seeing that in other photos.
“Original WWII press photo of US Marine Lt. General Holland Smith, Commanding Amphibious Assault Troops in Pacific (standing) showing US Fleet C-in-C Admiral Ernest King and Admiral C. W. Nimitz (seated in jeep) aroung on Saipan, 7-24-1944.”
Brian is selling his collection of jeep memorabilia, documents, signs and more. He’s sharing some of the pics at sellajeep.com. You’ll need to email him for prices and for a full list of what he has available.
“After 30 years in the Jeep business I am selling off my massive collection. I am long time master Jeep restorer and collector Brian Hainer. There are hundreds of vintage and modern toys, thousands of manuals and pieces of Jeep literature, dealer signs, dealer items etc.
The collection includes items from WW2 to about 1986, last of the CJ’s. Lots of NOS toys new in the box. The MB toy is #92 of 250 made by Fine Art Models, very rare to see one for sale. The sign photo is of a very large dealer sign. One panel says jeep and the other service. Over 18 feet long. I have a lot of factory photos and a huge pile of original blueprints of the Willys factory and of parts. Some are half scale and over 12 feet long.
I am also restoring a CJ5 snowblower Jeep right now, next will be a CJ5 trencher, after that is a CJ5 diesel Jeep with a large compressor that was used for drilling rock in New Hampshire to make ski slopes, and finally a CJ3B welder Jeep. All of these were factory equipped as described, and all are getting a careful restoration that I am known for. If anyone is interested now you can have the Jeep built as you like, such as color, tires, etc.
I am hoping to find good homes for all my vehicles and memorabilia so don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own the item you have been looking for!
Pictured are just a few of the thousands of items I have so please email for more details.”

“1948 CJ2A WILLYS JEEP all original parts, new engine 2 years old less than 100 miles, 4 wheel drive, in running condition. See photos”

I’d like to see some interior and engine shots.
“Custom 4 x4 Willy’s Jeep Pickup. Complete restoration runs excellent and is in excellent condition. This classic little Willy’s pickup is not being shown or driven, start it up once every two months, kept in the garage year around. No expense was spared on the restoration from paint, rebuild engine, power steering & brakes, sprayed bed liner, electric fuel pump and electric fan with large radiator. New tires and aluminum wheels. 350 Chev engine with two barrel carb. Manual 4 speed transmission with shift kit and split gear overdrive. I have driven it to work and back over the years so there are a few scratches in the paint. I have owned it for over 18 years and have over 38,000 in it. Clean Title.”
Has some body rust, but runs and drives. It could be a good price.
“1946 cj2a willys jeep. It runs and drives. It has new bf Goodrich all terrain tires and new brake lines and brakes. It has the original go-devil 4 cylinder engine showing 80,000 miles most of which were towed miles back and forth up north. The body is in rough shape and would be a great candidate for a new body tub. I just have too many projects and need to clear out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
It runs and drives, but needs some work.
“I have a running driving Willy’s CJ3-A for sale. Original engine and drive train. 4X4 and transmission work well. Needs some work. Tub has lots of rust. No apparent fluid leaks. Would make for a great restore project or good working parts for another. I’m asking $1800 obo. I am interested in trades as well. I have another jeep project that I need parts and dollars for. If interested, call me and make an offer or let me know what you have to trade. ”
