    Interesting and fun. And the Marvin the Martian collectibles that come up when you search for them is an added bonus. :thumbsup:

    Yes. It's like the weird spaghetti western comic books that come up when you search for Zenith on eBay.it without filters.

    ...and the Lakers paraphernalia that appears when you search for Angelus, and the beads and Universal Studios movie tchotchkes that come up with you search for Universal, and the soap & toiletries that you get when you type in "Gallet."

    Just pulled this little guy out for the evening. I got it a number of years ago from WBAW, when their prices were a little more reasonable.

    Afternoon switch to a rare new arrival, 1930 Hamilton Pinehurst in white 14K, one of only 668 produced. Definitely a grail watch!

    Those numerals might be the same font used on the "Yellow Submarine" cover.
    Might be the same artist who did Mr. Natural in the "Furry Freak Bros." comics!

    Sorry, This old hippie was trippin' for a sec. Must have been that orange barrel in '70.

    Who could afford this watch during the Depression?

    Adam, you've got the nuts in that one, my boy!

    Uncle Buck, what's interesting is that the Pinehurst was offered for $90, and the Meadowbrook (for example) for $100, yet the P. is now worth 4-5 times more because of its scarcity (see towards the bottom of the following 1930 catalog page)...

    [​IMG]

    The dials of the Meadowbrook and Pinehurst were interchangeable, and came in several different styles (exploding or stylized Arabic luminous or painted enamel figures, and also applied gold numerals).

    Here is a Meadowbrook of mine for comparison:

    Absolutely fantastic, there was so much original artistic concept produced in that era of the Art Deco movement and more specifically the 1925-1930 timeframe.
    Check out the Avant-Garde art of the movie "Metropolis" circa 1927 or "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes " 1925.
    You might have made my day with that piece, brother!
