Chandler felt pennants- a pair

Recently, on eBay, I came across a pair (!) of matching felt pennants for a Chandler Six. Remarkably, these pennants had survived a century without being destroyed or separated. I placed a bid on them, but unfortunately, I lost out to a snipe bid in the last second. They would have been an incredible addition to my car.

I’m not sure what the other bidder was willing to pay, but I know I should have bid higher. With BaT’s policy, I would have been given a second chance to bid. eBay needs to get with the times.

We need to figure out who that was and make sure they join the Chandler website.

I know the feeling, when you miss out on a one of a kind item that you have never seen before. And may never see you again. However, things tend to come in groups.

This makes me think about what my biggest disappointment was in an online auction where I could have gone further but got sniped.

Maybe about 10 years ago a guy had 3 batches of negatives. Maybe a 100 photos in each.batch There was a Duesenberg batch that I bought, a "classic" batch and a "brass" batch. It was very hard to tell from the auction what was actually in the negatives and how good they were. So I bid semi-hard on the Duesenberg lot but didn't try hard at all for the other 2. When I got the negatives it ended up being a treasure trove of photos that even the Duesenberg expert Chris Summers had never seen. Really made me disappointed I didn't go after the other two lots.
