AUCTION: 1950's Ford keyring fob

Here is my 1000th post and to celebrate I'd like to offer this (easy to mail) vintage 1950's Ford keyring fob for auction to benefit the HAMB.
In good original condition, this plated and painted metal miniature of Ford's '5o's "badge" is mounted to a mother of pearl look plastic backing and is approximately the size of a US quarter.
The auction will end on Thursday the 26th of February ('09), which is two weeks from today. I will mail the fob to the winning bidder upon confirmation of payment from Ryan.
I hope that this item is desirable to some of you and that you can dig deep for the glorious HAMB and bid high.
Note; the photo's don't really do it justice, it's not grungy.

Ooh goody, a bidding war! Hey Hombres ruin, this fob may well have been made in Oz.

I thought that (possibly) being made in Oz might be a "carrot" to you given your herritage.
Anyhow thanks for your bids, now were gettin' somewhere. Remember guys it's not only a nice old peice but it's to benifit the HAMB.

 

autobilly a little piece of home is cool with me,you know my parents live on the gold coast,so if i win and this piece is not authentic,iam sending my mum around your place! haha

 

Don't worry Hombre, although I haven't had it carbon dated, I'm sure it's authentic. Checkout the detailed pic's. Still when you're back in town to visit your Parents don't forget to "look me up".

 

December my friend,i will look you up for sure.

 

One week to go Hepcats and Shoebox, Y-Blocks and Automobilia fans.
You know you want it, you gotta have it, so keep biddin' and get it!

 

All done? Going once, going twice...

 

Well, it's Thursday morning here in sunny Queensland and there's been no bids for over a week. So it's sold to the man in the sombrero!
Thanks Hombre and to all the other guys that bidded. I'll post the fob out as soon as Ryan confirms receipt of payment.
