A JL find AND not a car!!

This is from a garage sale here in South Bend from a former employee of JL/PM.

I was blown away to see this. Does anyone else have one of these.









The back of the card.

The card was meant for the 32 Ford Hi-Boy and not the keychain. I wonder if this was a mock-up?.

I won an auction a few months ago for 2 of these, one open one still sealed along with a fishing lure(spoon type) and a couple tie pin type things with the JL logo. I will dig them up and post a pic if I remember. I think I paid about $10 shipped for all of it. Really cool.

Okay. Soooooo much for the suspense....


Another unique garage sale find:



How about a JL Christmas card. The picture does not show the detail of the front of the card. When you turn it, the car images are (searching for a better description) printed in a heavier ink and they stand off from the snowflake backround.





Another garage sale find from Ron and Kevin.
