If you have some background on any of these Edsel artifacts, some of their owners are anxious to hear from you.
Personally embossed with "O. D. Lee", this contains hundreds of pages of information presumably
for the man looking to become the next successful Edsel dealer. This 3-ring binder contains
the correspondence, worksheets, classnotes, and other training information as well as Edsel
Service Beacons for 10/57 - 4/58, 1958 color chip charts, and 1958 Air Conditioning and Transmission
manuals. It's 2.5" thick.
Its owner was wondering exactly where it came from and how many others might've survived.

This colorful pre-E-Day announcement was part of the morning milk delivery in 1957. The
milk bottle topper shown here measures 7 inches high and 6 inches wide, with a 4-inch ring
that capped off the glass milk bottles of the time (or door knobs, or however your local
Edsel dealer decided to use them). According to the Edsel Announcement Material catalog,
a run of 500 pieces was offered by the Edsel Division for $7.35, which included the
printing of the the dealership's name and address across the bottom.
Besides Townley Motors, it's not known how many other Edsel dealerships may have used this rarely
seen promotional tag.
Lou at Inno623@aol.com is looking for any information
on the origins of his Edsel Mirror.
"The size it is shown here is close to actual. The words on the bottom edge after 'EDSEL AND THE EDSEL LOGO...' are not legible, but probably are '...REGISTERED TRADEMARKS OF THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY.' or like reference to Ford's rights.
Thank you for trying to help!"
This item's amazing. It's owner explains:
The mask has got fuzzy material in its construction, and includes eye holes and a flap for the nose to go through. Can you imagine the Edsel salesman wearing this? No one would believe this without seeing it.
If you have an Edsel item that you can't find any history on and would like to post it here, send an email to admin@edsel.com.
