interesting and unusual stuff from the Qualcomm big 3 swap meet (ratio of thrift store stuff to good car parts, 5000 to one)









Why did anyone save these condom dispensers? But they would be the crowning touches if someone were trying to recreate a sleazy exit ramp gas station bathroom

I've never seen a flare can before, it's make a cool piece in a rat rod, bolted to the inside of a door, or a stereo case maybe

Stanley steamer engine... unbelieveable


Huge Gilmore neon light took up the entire back of a cargo van




200 bucks for the entire Devilbiss collection


These are some ancient plates



Station wagon, not little red wagon

Never seem a 3 wheeled wagon before

it's a Tote Gote, I dig the ammo can instead of a headlight




Just a junkyard full of hub caps
Model T trailer, great tail lights


Made by Acme... love it.


Damn, just makes me think a belly tanker is possible, unreal that there are any of these that haven't been made into streamliners


Love old radios











this is one of 2, both were asking 700 bucks



Sherman tank Mk 6 periscope
150 for the trio, wow.


Above and below would be great items on a rat rod, this gas can would be a cool fuel tank




350 for the Packard dash
