    If by "vintage" you mean original Maverick advertising stuff from the 70's ... then yes it is all original vintage stuff. Actually I beleive all this stuff was given to salesmen in 1969 when the Maverick was introduced ..

    Some guy has tie tacks on ebay all the time for $8. Don't get in a bidding war over these...because as soon as one sells....he puts up another one.

    Dan....I have al of those except for cuff links.

    I kinda collect old slot cars, got about 20 that have been run and 6 that have never been out of the box. 2 of the new ones are kits,all are 1/24-1/32 hardbodys,no mavericks though,all of them released pre 1965

    I used to race slot cars back in the 60's. There was a huge track downtown. This was in Oak Harbour, on Widby Island out in Washington state. It was a blast. From what I have heard, its still popular in CA. I wish I still had all my stuff.

    Here are most of my collectibles. That manilla envelope behind the mug has two 16mm TV commercial ads for the Ford Sprints. I'm trying to get them converted to a digital format.

    nice pictures guys. mavaholic, were you in the service at whidbey island. i used to fly in there guite a bit as i lived in bremerton. i was stationed at moffett field in california and the flight crews had to file there flight plans with me. i used to keep a packed bag and ask them to drop me off, then i'd hitch hike down I-5 to seattle and catch the ferry across. :)
