Long Beach Auto Swap Meet Junk -- Sunday, September 10, 2017

There's usually this guy selling glass insulator knobs at the Car Swap Meet...







Vintage Drag Racing Pilot Chute (Mostly Leather)




Old Wiring Knob (before insulated wires...)

Jaguar front end grille (don't know which model it's from)


Snap-on 17/19 mm ratcheting wrench (was in a pile of junk wrenches for 1 or 2 dollars...!)

Needs some cleaning (wire brush)...


'90's Mercedes Shift Knob (automatic)

Chrysler... can't remember what part of the car it's from off the top of my head...

Three different colors of a Mark III Golf (1/87 scale)

Bought all three from three different sellers & they're all different...

I think they stopped using this type of "cloisonne" badges in the '60s...

Bentley wheel center cap.  Pretty recent (made of plastic).

Cool old aftermarket shift knob




Hemi Marine Engine Operating Manual


This is a reproduction C1 Corvette steering wheel.  Very large diameter (pre-power steering) and thin rim... (opposite of today's steering wheels with small diameter and thick rims)

Momo steering wheel

These old Plomb combination wrenches are really BIG...

Old 8mm movie camera.  These old cameras are not worth anything but the design is very cool...  Nice construction and finish also.
