Happy Election Day!
You’ve probably seen some of these wares before, but in celebration of our great democracy, here are some Election Day treasures. Get out and vote, no matter who your candidate is! I mean, look at George, he’s voting for Barry Goldwater (1964 hat purchased last week in an auction.)
Perhaps the coolest item in this lot is the E. Howard Hunt pipe. Zach bought this on ebay from Hunt’s own son. If you aren’t up on your E. Howard Hunt history, he is known for helping to orchestrate the Watergate break-in. The inlay on the pipe represents Hunt’s college graduation from Brown in 1940. Amazing huh?!
My other favorite item in this set is the lead flag bearer, still in great shape for its age. These stripes don’t run/fade/bleed/get negative feedback on ebay.
I’ll be voting today for whichever candidate vows to protect my right to buying overpriced porcelain.

Happy Fourth of July! Here’s a sampling of patriotic items I’ve picked up at sales. A Washington bottle, Lincoln chocolate mold, mini plastic presidents, little Flag man, and brass eagle and Washington bust.
USA! USA! USA!
