Super Nice Early Tom Corbett Space Cadet Flashlight NR

Auction ends SATURDAY night.

Automobilia: During the very early years of the automobile, people the world over had a fascination and romanticized the life style of the wealthy that could afford such magnificent vehicles. Accordingly, many items were made that reflected this new opulent lifestyle from advertising to dinnerware and china to humidors to artwork, sculptures and toys and so on. We term these items automobilia and they are much sought after. Today we find many collectors of automobilia as it is also used for even newer items related to the automotive and associated industries. For instance, there are collectors of license plates, oil cans, gas station memorabilia, hood ornaments and on down to the smallest of giveaways. They are all fun to collect and display. The most difficult pieces of automobilia to obtain are quite obviously the earliest pieces or the ones that came from companies that did not last long. Many times the history of these items or learning more about them is the most exciting aspect of collecting as there is not a lot written about them. There are a few books showing many fine early pieces and plenty of books showing later items but only the books with later items have much history about the pieces.
