Offered in this lot is a diverse collection of vintage collectibles, featuring a Manning-Bowman electric desk fan, folding pocket knives, a harmonica with original box, and Aquarius zodiac-themed leather coasters.

  • Brelli 16-hole harmonica with original box
  • Vintage jigged bone handle folding pocket knife
  • Small vintage folding pocket knife
  • Pair of Aquarius embossed leather coasters

The Manning-Bowman fan is the highlight of the lot, featuring a gray enamel finish, aluminum four-blade design, and original wire safety cage. Manufactured by the Manning-Bowman Division of McGraw-Edison Co., this fan reflects the classic styling and craftsmanship associated with mid-century American household appliances.

The folding knives show honest age and use, while the Brelli harmonica retains its original box. The Aquarius coasters feature embossed zodiac imagery and make a unique addition to any vintage barware, desk, or collectible display.

Condition:
Items are sold as found. The fan appears complete but has not been tested unless otherwise noted. The knives exhibit wear, oxidation, and age-related patina. The harmonica and box show storage wear. The leather coasters display light wear consistent with age and use. Please refer to all photographs for condition, contents, and details.

A great estate-find lot for collectors of vintage fans, pocket knives, musical instruments, zodiac memorabilia, and general Americana collectibles.
