Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!

Back in November 2011, I mentioned I was on a quest for something really big and perhaps would have a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity. When I met with our financial consultant and told him of this possible acquisition, there was a big pause and he said "Are you serious?".  Well I was, and although I knew there was a distinct possibility we wouldn't get what we were after, it happened.  I am sure you were all anxious to see what one-of-a-kind relic from Der Fuhrer I was after, but this time the purchase was for my 'other' hobby...  And so, if you have a few minutes and wish to share in our enthusiasm, please make it a point to revisit our other website www.88mphtimemachine.com and check out what we purchased.

Here is a direct link to our most recent activity  88mphtimemachine.com/index.php/fun-activities scroll down.  We've also just posted this video on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9amVWm3RZk

We hope you'll enjoy your visit!

You know we are always busy updating the site with 'new' goodies for you, but in recent months we've also been 'updating' our photography!  As you may have noticed, many of the items have been re-photographed and **WOW** what a difference!  We've hired a professional photographer (and fellow collector!) who has spent countless hours on this task so if you haven't checked out the new pictures, give them a second look ~ you'll be impressed!

In order to make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for, we have separated the Uniforms section into categories:

Army Tunics       Imperial Tunics       Italian, Japanese and Other Foreign Country's Uniforms       Luftwaffe Tunics       Navy Tunics       Overcoats       Police Tunics       Political and Para-Military       Pants/Breeches/Shorts       SS and Exotic Uniforms

...only looking for insignia for Uniforms?  Check out the Metal Insignia for Tunics section on the Miscellaneous page!

Please note:  Unless otherwise stated, the uniforms described here do not include accessories pictured such as belts, buckles, medals, ribbons and aigulettes.  In most cases, though, these items are available for purchase separately.  Please e-mail at billshea@tiac.net  for details.
