A group portrait of wardens that has a 1942 date (location is claimed to be Amesbury). Of interest is the messenger are the far right. He's managed to make a lamp shield with a letter 'M'. Various vehicles on duty would utilise one lamp with illuminated letters to designate their use. Not seen this on a bicycle before.  ARP Messenger Illuminated Letter 'M' Bicycle Lamp

For some unknown reason, quite a few eBay sellers believe individual ARP buttons are incredibly valuable. Here we have a one priced at £16.15 (plus £3.38 shipping). Do they never look at previously sold items? My spares tray would be worth a grand...  ARP button madness on eBay  My spares tray of ARP buttons Finally added the Adie Bros. 1941-marked ARP whistle to the collection. With more services being issued with whistles, Adie Bros. Ltd. in Birmingham were engaged to produce ARP whistles. Almost identical in manufacture to the Hudson ARP whistle, examples are stamped 1941. There were also over half-a-million black acetate whistles manufactured and I'm on the look-out for one of those. More details about ARP whistles here.
You'd think that with all the information online about these silver ARP badges and also the previously sold prices on eBay, sellers would have enough details to price ARP badges correctly. Well, here for your viewing pleasure, are two silver ARP badges with a combined asking price of £313... And, they also added "The maker's mark is RJ, which is J.R. Gaunt & Son, London.", you really cannot make this shit up!  Idiot pricing on eBay |
