It isn't hard to find really good auctions to feature in the Hot Finds. Some of the auctions I want to spot light today have bidding that's topped $1k and they are still going.
Top Selling Auctions in the USA Category
The Sugamo Prison patch is amazing and with 24 bids it's approaching the very impressive $2,000 range. Also check out the wonderfully preserved paratroop helmet below that has 31 bids and is over $600 in aggressive bidding.
One of the really cool auctions in this block is the gas mask container that includes it's contents. You can easily imagine a soldier carrying this on them as they went into battle.
I guess there will be some crossover bidding from collectors that like Royal Doulton pieces. I can't imagine it's very often that those collectors spend time in the WWII category but that bulldog has more than a dozen bids.
If you want to see an impressive collection click over to see the German Imperial hat. The seller includes a picture of his glass frame at home that is just filled with him. It's a good thing he doesn't give out his home address because that frame has got some money in it.
I am going to be consolidating some of my antique booth pieces over the next few days trying to save some money on rent. In my Lumberton, NC store I'm going to squeeze things down to make it all fit in a space 1/2 the size.
