1870 Census Statistical Atlas (& nothing to do with jeeps)

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If you like maps and history of the US, you’ll likely find this STATISTICAL ATLAS
OF THE NINTH CENSUS (1870)
fascinating.  Even better, all the maps are available in 300 dpi (a 256mb download)!  It’s fun, in map-geek way, to see what cities were listed and which were left out (Ex … Olympia Wa shown, Seattle Wa not)

Below are a couple map examples.  Click on the map to get a higher resolution version. The first map shows a mapping of the woodlands.  At least in the western half of the US, with which I’m most familiar, I think that’s a pretty accurate assessment of how the woodlands appear today (though the trees are likely newer and shorter).

And here’s a geographical map:

1953 Wagon Denver, Co **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1000

This is part of an estate sale.  The price will be lowered in about 3 weeks.

“I am clearing out my dad’s estate and have for sale one ‘53 Willys Jeep Wagon. This is original. No engine changes or aftermarket changes. I mean original as in 6 volt and generator charger. Jeep has 81,050 miles, never really a daily driver. Used mainly for fishing, hunting and then snowplowing my dad’s neighbor’s driveways after my dad retired to the country. Not too much time spent on salted roads. Engine was rebuilt years ago by a professional mechanic (my dad). Machine work was done by Hatch Grinding. They milled the head and balanced the crankshaft to the rods and pistons. The F head engine runs well. The rust on tailgate is lower than I’ve seen on wagons of this age. Also has the original wood guides on the floor. Brakes don’t work right now. We have not been able to remove the master cylinder cap yet. We soaked it in WD 40 and will try again in a few days. Now for the minuses, which I feel are lower than you’ll find on other old wagons. The needs are right fender (bad dents), front bumper, grill needs to be chromed. Glass in some windows is bad. Has extra glass but could be just as bad. And, of course, as any project wagon needing restoring, a complete interior redo. Body is solid with low rust, just a couple of holes, with 1 pin hole under driver’s floor. Jeep comes with extra seats and wheels. A little work and you can drive this while you restore. I can provide 15 high resolution photos to serious inquiries. We must communicate by phone first. Starting this out at $1000. I have 3 months to sell and will lower price in about 3 weeks if not sold. Snow plow parts to be removed unless you want to buy a snow plow also”

Flat Fender Squirrel Feeder

• CATEGORIES: Features, Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Here’s one in the wild.

You don’t see these everyday.

“Up for auction is a really cute little single-seat, cedar squirrel feeder fashioned after a 1942 Willys Jeep used during WW II.  It’s fun to watch the squirrels sit in the driver’s seat and eat.  And the best thing about this Jeep is it runs on corn cobs, so you won’t go broke at the pump!   We have the one pictured outside our window and the squirrels just love it.

The feeder is loosely fashioned after a photo of a 1942 Willys my 11-year-old son and I came across.  We thought it would be fun to turn the photo into a feeder.  So, we drew it out, cut it out, and (after a few redesigns) had us one of the more unique squirrel feeders on EBay.  These feeders have quickly become one of our biggest sellers.”
