The United States category is the largest of them all. That might be because as the big boy it does attract some listings that probably don't belong there. But either way diving in to this batch of thousands of auctions my job is to pull out maybe 15-20 that are at the top of the field.
The German block contains almost a dozen of the top auctions in that category that have bids and are endings soon. Ever since I started writing this newsletter I've only featured listings with bids because that is how I know the pricing is realistic and it's going to sell.
The final round up of WWII listings includes items from the U.K, Russia, Japan, and other countries that took part in the war.
My 7th graders have been studying WWI so seeing the naval demonstration ships below was cool. We studied the Battle of Jutland as an example of how the new technologies of war collided at the turn of the century.
