Row 1: This Ronson lighter, a model of the Defender, was given to employees during WW II. They can be found on e-bay irregularly. This one is incomplete. Row 2: Bardwell & McAlister keg light, ca. 1955, quite rare. Note lightening bolt instead of propeller or dash between 'Hall' and 'Scott' on back lid! Row 3: Hood plates are fairly common and can be of a handful of types. The round chrome and black example is courtesy of Wayne McDougall. Row 4: H-S ads, from the 1910s to 1960s, are commonly offered by literature vendors and the price on a given ad can vary greatly between different sellers. Row 5: This rare and beautiful WW II-era Defender wallet courtesy of Billy J. Wells, Sr. This excellent example still resides in its original box! Row 6: Cast metal Hall-Scott model motor cars can be found on e-bay irregularly. This HO-gauge example has terrific detail. Row 7: It appears that these non-hood plates are harder to find. The Model 142 diesel plate courtesy of Michael Axford. Could this be the last one? |
Hall-Scott collectables can be found at swap meets, salvage yards, antique stores, and on-line auctions such as e-bay. The price of the items below range from a few bucks to several hundred dollars. My rule of thumb when considering buying such an item is that is worth as as much as I am willing to pay. And if you pass up that rare Hall-Scott gem because of a few bucks, will you kick yourself later? I have. When it doubt about purchasing a Hall-Scott item you really want, I say forget saving a dollar or two and just buy it! |
