I don't stop at every yard sale. Baby clothes and knick knacks don't have much appeal. But when old farm houses are cleared of antiques, I hit the brakes.
In 2015, I stumbled upon a box with WWII era US web gear. In the bottom of the box were three dozen black and white photos, and an 11X14" canvas print.
All of the items were severely water damaged, and $1 USD sealed the trade. Only about 10 of the photos retained any integrity. The canvas print fared the best, with some staining but no major deterioration.
The armored convertible car is a Mercedes 540K. Note that the wheels and tires in the photos are not the same as the print. But it is perhaps the same car. The sign says it was a gift from Adolph Hitler to Hermann Goering. You be the judge!
Thanks for looking.
