A vintage Garcia Conolon Model 2121D fishing rod in unused, mint condition--$5.00

coors neon1.jpg

A nice neon sign advertising "Coors For Florida". The "For" is formed by the L, I, D and the A in Florida blinking on and off intermittently. So when you look at it it looks like it says "Coors For Florida"

Ataxidermy alligator head and tail mounted on a piece of wood, the head is about a foot long--$3.00

I almost forgot, Last but not least is "Wee Wee Willy, fill him with water and when you pull his shorts down he pees on you, he was a must have for-- .25
 

Good day at the estate for you, and good prices. Seems all the estate sells I go to they must have researched each item and then tack on a couple of bucks.
 

It looks like you had a very nice haul there and the prices couldn't be beat, unless it was free :icon_thumleft:
 

The person that owned the house had passed away 6 months ago and the guy selling the stuff said he was "with the real estate company," (?) didn't make any sense to me. Oh yeah I paid $20.00 for the neon and the Man O War print needs some research done. It's probably worthless but I did find this-

Mine isn't hand signed on the botton right like this one and mine is a print from The New York Graphic Society so who knows.

I listed some of this stuff on Ebay already along with a few other things. Gotta make ends meet, work is way too slow lately.
