Vintage 1969 Nascar Banquet Program

We have followed car racing ever since we were kids and still enjoy it today. This is a vintage Nascar Banquet Program that was held in Daytona Beach in 1969. The program is an original item that was given out at the banquet and has that year's winners pictured on the cover. There is also information and the events of the night inside the program.


Over the years a lot of these paper items didn't last so there are not many of these around. This one is in good condition and is listed on eBay this week for auction. You can check out the eBay listing for the rest of the pictures and information.

We have a lot of vintage racing items listed and they include all types of racing. You can check these out in our eBay store Book Corner Cafe n More and most all of our items include free shipping.

Do You Remember Doris Day?

Funny how certain movie stars stay with you over the years and others you never remember isn't it? Some are more famous then others or you remember them because of shows you watched or movies they were in. Well Doris Day was one of my mom's favorites and over the years and I loved watching her in movies including Starlite. This is a musical that came out in 1951 and included many great stars at that time.


We have listed on eBay the Vintage 16mm Film Reel lot for the musical Starlite. This lot inlcudes all three reels and they are all 2000 ft in lenght. This is a great find for any Doris Day fan or Vintage Film Reel Collector.

You can check out our eBay listing that has all the information and more pictures and this is up for auction this week. We also have Fall Guy, Judd for Defense and Burke's Law listed as well this week. 

So stop by and check out these great film reels and all the other vintage and colllectible items in our store Book Corner Cafe n more.

Lot of Vintage Lamp Electrical Plugs and Sockets

We came across these items by accident in a box lot we bought at an auction. We were looking at the other items in the box we came across a bag of these plugs and decided do a bit of research.



As you can see the lot consists of  a light base with a plug, vintage Bakelite sockets and lamp plugs some still new in the package. We decided to list them since we found out there are people who repair old lamps and these items could be put to good use.

You can tell these are vintage sockets and plugs since they have the same size prongs on the ends. We all know the new ones have one end bigger then the other for safety reasons.

This lot is up for bid this week and you can also stop by our eBay Store and check out our other vintage lots including our vintage hardware.

Home Movies from the 1960's up for Auction

I was at an auction and bought a bunch of box lots and when I got home I found these vintage 8mm film reels in one of the boxes.


Most of these have writing on them such as 1960's Christmas, Camping, Football, Easter and more. I remember when my dad loved filming us and then replaying them at family get togethers over the years. Do you remember those days? It was alwasy fun and sometime embarrassing to watch those movies as we grew up.

I don't know the family but it is always fun looking at the time period of these film reels like the clothes, scenery, cars etc it is really a walk back in time.

So this week this lot is up for bid and it will end on Sunday night. So if you would like to be the one to view these films head over to the eBay auction to place a bid. We also have many other unique vintage collectibles in our store to check out.

Home Movies on 8mm Film Reels

As any parent knows pictures, slides and home movies were a very important part of life years ago. Many families would record trips, holidays and their family life on film reels to watch when ever they wanted. Today technology has changed all that but watching these old movies are still so much fun.




I have listed a lot of vintage 8mm film reels on eBay. These are home movies and are marked with things like Christmas, Birthday's, Trip from California to St Louis as well as some that are not marked. There are also a few dates on them from the 1960's.

Even if you don't know the family there is so much history in these films like the clothing, cars, houses etc that make for very interesting viewing.

This lot includes 9 reels and as always I have Best Offer on this lot and it also includes free shipping. You can also see all the pictures on the eBay listing.

We have many vintage items in our store Book Corner Cafe n more on eBay so stop by today.
