Mr. Rather and His Dogs and Jeep

Walter Hill, the director of the Horry County Museum, forwarded these pics from the Museum’s archives. Great images!
“Mr. Prather owned a service station in Myrtle Beach as well. He lived in a community on the Waccamaw River/Inter-coastal Waterway called Socastee, not far from Myrtle Beach. Anyone familiar with the area may be familiar with the Socastee Turn Bridge that allowed road traffic across the Inter-coastal Waterway and river traffic down the Inter-coastal Waterway.
Most of the pictures in this collection appear to have been taken near the end of WWII (some images in the collection show GI’s boarding the bus at the Draft office in Conway) up to the early fifties, judging by the automobiles in the pics. One picture shows a license tag on the jeep and I want to say it says 1952. Maybe better eyes can tell if I am correct or not.”
My New Ford GP Bull Shirt
January 11, 2013 • CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
I saw this silk shirt from Phat Farm on eBay. When I showed it to Ann, she was so horrified by it she screamed. Ok, I may be exaggerating a little. There was no screaming; but, she was slightly horrified by it.
I tried to explain that it had the Prototype Ford GP printed on it. How cool is that? But, she was unimpressed. To her credit, she liked the jeep. It was the rest she didn’t like.
Seeing her reaction to this unique shirt was all I needed to bid on this. I thoroughly enjoyed appearing in the kitchen wearing it and seeing her reaction.
Not surprising, I was the only person to bid on it . . .

Cragstan’s Smokey and Sandy Bear in a Jeep **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
I know Smokey the Bear, but never heard of Sandy the Bear. This includes a box in poor condition.
“This is a vintage battery operated Cragstan Jeep with Flexible Smokey Bear and Sandy bendy figures in original box. Made in Hong Kong. Model # 2579-1. About 11″ long. Toy is in C9.5+ shape. I put batteries in and it worked well (the gear lever is the on and off switch) but the battery door can barely close due to poor manufacturing tolerances. Box is in C4 shape, pretty torn up as you can see in the pics.”
Nomura Electro Tin Jeep with Search Light and Trailer on eBay
This includes the box.
“Here’s another amazing item from my huge collection. This is a near mint example of a Japanese tin searchlight jeep with artillary trailer. Made by TN (Nomura) toys, this one has spent it’s life in it’s box and was rarely played with. There are really no issues to report. Paint is like new on both units. Lithograph on soldiers is excellent. There are no scratches anywhere. No rust. No dents, etc. Battery compartment on Jeep is excellent. I put a battery in and the searchlight and rear wheels worked fine. Artillary trailer rotates as it moves. The only issue is one of the two rivets that hold the searchlight onto it’s base has come loose. I’m sure someone could easily fix it as it just needs to be popped back in.We also have the original box with wonderful graphics. There is a hand-written “$2.00″ on the front and one corner is torn and coming loose. The base does have the carboard divider though! It’s incredible to find one in this condition with it’s box intact. Jeep measures about 7-1/2″ long and the trailer measures about 6″ long.”
