Remington Porcelain Sign

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.

That sure is a sweet advertising sign. ::tu:: The chance to own one of those doesn't up very often.
I'd venture a guess that the current price is about half of what it will sell for.

$1,523.88

Do you suppose the seller expected it to go for that much? Doesn't it make you wonder how much he paid for it?


Edit: Fifty bids and who got it? The sniper did and he only bid one time. All those other 49 bids did was drive the price up (unless that was their intention). Contrary to what eBay says, bidding early and often is not a wise idea.

Sniper bids will bid more than once depending on how it is set up. I got something a couple days ago,two bidders with 5 bids in the last 6 seconds.Mirror programs you can stagger your bid times.

I was looking threw the old topics, learning and came across this. Now mine is cardboard and made about 30 days ago. But I still like it and I only had to pay $45 delivered.
