Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

[Chasseur]

Can't wait for these to arrive. At 34 and 40 pages, they will have a wealth of stuff you just don't get in the typical British catalogues. The same seller has other similar ones, including one in the same series from 1908, which doesn't interest me … should anyone be interested

1928

Baron,

When you can I'd love to see scans from those catalogues. I collect old things from Manufrance, here is an old 1950s box of cartridges I have:

In the late 19th century to the 1970s Manufrance made everything from shotguns (the Robust and Ideal), to bicycles, to toys etc. in the old industrial and armament city of St. Etienne (about an hour's drive from Lyon).

Astonishing is an understatement. It might fit my five year old.

Really? 7 1/8th is my size and I was actually planning to bid on it, but I got distracted and when I saw the winning bid later, I was shocked at how much people someone would pay for a cap.

That is your size? Interesting. I suppose it might have something to do with the fact that his dad has a 7 5/8 hat size. He might just get there.
That was a good price---for the seller.

As long as you don't wear a skirt with, you'll be fine.

Haha yeah I like the way it's presented, maybe that's why it was so under the radar!

Yeah, no doubt.

Do I see a bi-swing back as well?

 

[dhermann1]

I had my eye on this for a while, but finally realized it was substantially too small. The story of my life. Looks like it went for a very reasonable price. Hope it went to a Lounger!

I was seeing myself in it with a pair of white flannel trousers, and of course a pair of spectators. Oh, well.

 

[thunderw21]

Snagged this western sports coat off Etsy for a good price. The scalloped yoke and bi-swing back really do it for me!

I occasionally turn down such jackets.As cool as I think they are, they are tough to sell. hence, the price.

 

[Gene]

I was up to $75 on this one, naively thinking maybe someone didn't want it....last 10 seconds completely illustrated why I hate eBay. Why not just have auctions that only last 10 minutes?

Still, went for a good price!

Oooh a palm beach suit. I didn't even see it. The price is still fair

 

[Feraud]

Hey Gene, I too was one of those naive bidders! The final price was a steal but currently out of my range.

See that's what I was counting on, that maybe this one just went completely under the radar! Sadly, only in my dreams. It was literally at $29.99 for 6 days, then the last day it went up a little and I was still winning, then it of course went up with the eBay sniping and whatnot. It's a pet peeve and usually why I just buy from Etsy or use BIN only.

And yeah I feel your pain Feraud, out of price range at the moment but a very good deal.

 

[Rudie]

I had seen it. Nice unusual colour, but too small. Story of my life, as Mario would say. It went for a pretty low price, though, considering it's not the standard cream colour.

 

[Feraud]

The price sat at 29 bucks up until the last few seconds then jump to the final bid. Boy that hurt..

I particularly like that it wasn't the typical cream color. There is a recent conversation in another thread about the variety of colors Palm Beach cloth used to come in and the fact we now only see cream. The only variety in Palm Beach cloth is seen in neckwear.
I hope a Lounger won it and shares some additional photos!

I agree! I had a WWII officer's tailored khaki jacket in Palm Beach cloth. Ended up going on eBay for $20 [huh]

Since I don't have a clue about leather jackets...

Did we miss something great?

191 euros for three pre-war leather jackets (and I am guessing they are 1920s - but I know nothing about leather jackets), so yes - I think someone has done well!
