Welcome to this
NO-RESERVE
auction for the picture
d
Rare Find
…
An
Original
TIN
of
UNUSED
1930s
SAMPSON
STIKTAPE AERIAL
…
*
The only date I see is the
1932
Patent Date
; likely from shortly thereafter…
* Used to enhance radio reception strength back in the day…
* Made by
Fowler Manufacturing
of
St. Louis, MO
…
*
Tin case
is much like a
“film roll”
cannister; roughly
4″
in
diameter
and
3/8″
thick
…
*
Tape
is a
thin
metal
–like a tape measure–with sticky/gluey backing…
* Quite sure tape is
unused
; looks next to impossible to use and then roll back up correctly…
* Please
see pics
for other observable details.
* Please
let me know
if you have any
questions
BEFORE
bidding
.

This is the
exact item
the winning bidder will receive.
USED
… Exterior of tin exhibits
excellent coloration
; with some spotty staining and scratching and paint chipping. The lid was on nice and tight when I first touched the piece but it does not want to go back on completely–and I do not want to force it–suggesting several small dents in the lip of either the top or bottom. Tape is unrolled an inch or two; otherwise it is very well stuck together/rolled up (as it was on day one of its existence).
Please inspect pics carefully
BEFORE
bidding and
do not bid
if
you expect to receive items that are somehow “better” than the ones pictured and described here.
NO RETURNS…
SOLD
“AS IS”
WITH
NO GUARANTEE
OF ANY SORT…
