Vintage Philip Morris CIGARETTES HUMIDORPAC Tin Can! - eBay (item 310047551231 end time May-10-08 16:52:51 PDT) This vintage metal Philip Morris cigarettes can has an old-fashioned classy look in tobacco brown and gold. The lid says, "Philip Morris Humidorpac, 50 Cigarettes. Keep Lid Closed."
The front says, "Philip Morris & Co. Ltd. Incorporated. Established--Over 90 Years. Special London Selection. English Blend Cigarettes. Manufactured by Philip Morris & Co. Ltd. Inc., New York."
The back says, "Philip Morris & Co. Ltd. Inc. English Blend. These cigarettes are manufactured from a blend of the finest tobaccos obtainable. Guaranteed to be free from any deleterious flavoring. None genuine unless the initials of our firm PM&Co are printed on each cigarette."
One side says, Keep Cover Tightly Closed. By restoring the lid to original tightness by firm finger pressure each time opened, factory freshness of cigarettes may be preserved indefinitely." The other side has fine print and "Factory No. 7 District of VA., Made in U.S.A."
It doesn't smell much like cigarettes inside, more like old dresser drawers. I don't know exactly how old it is except it came out 90 years after Philip Morris & Company was founded.
Vintage Round Wooden ORBROS BAROMETER Made in Germany! - eBay (item 310047321486 end time May-09-08 19:58:39 PDT) This Orbros barometer was made in Germany.

1942 BULLETMAN #11 Mighty Midget Comic Fawcett 4X5-Inch - eBay (item 310047312100 end time May-09-08 19:02:45 PDT) This little Mighty Midget comic features Bulletman the Flying Detective. This and the other titles in this series were ALL marked #11. The cover says, "34 Action-Filled Pages Featuring--Bulletman and Bulletgirl!" It's a Fawcett Publication published in 1942.
The Mac Raboy cover shows a tiny logo on the bottom right with a shield and the words, "Be An American." The back cover is plain except for the image of a stamp that says, "For Victory. Buy United States War Bonds and Stamps."
The centerfold (see third picture) was missing from this copy, but we have scanned one from another copy and printed it out back-to-back like the original on similar aged pulpy paper.
About half the pages are black and white, the other half black and white and red. It's a nice solid copy.
Does this special vintage Mighty Midget comic book make you smile?

87 BUCK ROGERS DAILY STRIPS 1932 Clippings Sequence! - eBay (item 310047012129 end time May-08-08 19:13:44 PDT) This is almost a hundred strips in sequence clipped from a daily newspaper in which they appeared in 1932. Buck Rogers was created by Philip Francis Nowlan and drawn by Dick Calkins. This sequence is a good story that goes from number 1051 to 1137.
It's difficult to find such a long run as this any more. They're 76 years old. If you have the Buck Rogers Big Little Books, this sequence fits between Moons of Saturn and 25th Century A.D. A listing we found online calls this story Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet.
This sequence of vintage Buck Rogers clippings is in good condition, a bit brittle but not crumbling. A couple have been nicely repaired using similar newsprint stock. One such repair is shown in the second photo. Two or three others are taped from behind because of accidental scissors cuts.
