FS - Lotsa Stuff

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

And again...

(8) ORIGINAL FORD DASH PLATE - See the pic. This was taken off a 1942 Ford 15cwt. It needs cleaning up, but it's original, and excellent for a pattern if you're not going to use it yourself. $20 plus postage.

(9) FORD TRUCK INSTRUCTION BOOK - This is not dated, but it's clearly early WW2 issue for Modified Conventional trucks. It covers models 21C, C21D, 21Y, 21T, C29T, C29W, 218T, 218W, C298T, C298W, C11AD, and C298TFS. Used but excellect condition, complete with numerous technical illustrations. Yours for $30 plus postage.

(10) KHAKI OFFICER'S CAP - This is badged FUSILIERS DU ST. LAURENT/ St. Lawrence Fusiliers and is not dated but was manufactured by MUIR CAPS & REGALIA LTD in Toronto. I'm not sure what era this is from (I presume prior to WW2, as the FdSF were incorporated into the Van Doos during the war) but it's up to you historical/collector types to sort it out. The cap is about size 7 (it fits my pinhead albeit tightly) and it's in GOOD condition, with a few small moth holes. The leather band and buttons are excellent. Make me an offer.

(11) EARLY 1800s OCTANT - This item is not dated, but it is almost identical to a picture of one I've seen of a SPENCER, BARRETT & CO octant I've seen online. I know this is late 18th/early 19th century because octants were replaced by sextamts in the early decades of the 19th century. Perhaps one of you might find this a useful bit for your nautical collection - I have no idea how this came down through the family, as we haven't a nautical bone in our bodies. I'm asking $400 for this, which is probably low, but what the hell.
