United States World War Two – Top Auctions

September 26, 2011

Last week on eBay the top five auctions in the USA subcategory included three blades which strikes me as a bit unusual.  However, the fact that two flight jackets also made the list doesn't seem out of place at all.  The #1 auction started off at just $9.99 but after 22 bids closed at $2700.  A very close 2nd place was the Marine bowie knife that started at $100 and nearly crossed the finish line ahead of the A2 jacket.   The exception to all this great bidding in the auction format was the V-42 Stiletto which came out with a very high minimum bid and got that bid to sell for over two grand.  Not a bad top 5 considering that every item sold for more than 2k.
