Not a store item but feel free to share with people who like investing in large restoration projects.
Any of my military vehicle minded friends, I’m selling my 44Dodge WC51. Unrestored but one of the best restoration candidates you’ll find. I’ve not had it running but the engine spins freely It spent 30 years in a barn before I got it and while I don’t really want to sell it, I would rather restore my Dad‘s 86 Dodge Ram instead. This truck is solid. It has a command car seat and some Norwegian modifications. Still in Norwegian Army gray. Asking $7k

So here’s an extremely rare piece that walked in the shop: This is an 1861 parade flag made for celebrating Virginia’s secession from the Union. This is the 8 star flag as opposed to the far more common 7 star. In addition 7 star flags were made post war as well. The 8 and 9 star were wartime production. It still has half the stick it was glued to. You can almost Imagine a young kid waving this at a parade as the soldiers marched by. Come see us for your rare historical needs.
