    FROM HERE FORWARD I WILL BE LISTING A SERIES OF ARTICLES FROM WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE  "JOHN JORITZ  COLLECTION".....  HE ACTUALLY **DIED** SUDDENLY ON MY PROPERTY OVER A YEAR AGO.....  A LOTTERY MILLIONAIRE LOANED ME THE MONEY TO BUY THIS COLLECTION..... ALTHOUGH MY INTENTION WAS TO SELL THIS COLLECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY TO PAY THE LOAN BACK AND SPLIT THE REMAINING PROFIT, THE MAN INSISTS ON BEGINNING TO LIST THINGS INDIVIDUALLY SINCE THE GENERAL SALE OR BULK AUCTION HAS STALLED.....  PROBABLY DUE TO THIS VIRUS CRAP!!!.....  ALL THE SHOWS HAVE CLOSED, AUCTION HOUSES ARE BACKED UP FOR-E-V-E-R-, AND BUYERS ARE UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO CLOSE THE SALE ON THE COLLECTION......   THIS COLLECTION HAS A LOT OF HIGH-END SMALL MEMORABILIA, AND THOUSANDS OF ADVERTISING BROCHURES!!!
    I met John Joritz years ago due to our overlapping interests in antiques, railroads and in his case, serious collecting of International harvester memorabilia.  He was one of the most knowledgeable individuals you would ever meet on the IH company history!   There are articles in this collection with a direct connection to the McCormick family.
    He was a premier collector and excellent historian on IH company and Cyrus McCormick and the Reaper Company that became International Harvester Corporation at the turn of the last century.  He was well known in the agricultural memorabilia world.   People arriving on this eBay site and my wife's site where articles will also be listed will quite possibly be familiar with John!
    Here is an article from his collection!
    This is a keychain fob on a brass bead chain choker.
    It advertises Alis Chalmers HD-19, said to be the largest and most powerful dozer back in the mid-1940s.
    This fob contains a 1946 D American penny, the first copper one made after several years of wartime steel penny production.
    On one edge it looks like someone tried to de-laminate the plastic sandwich layers in order, perhaps, to remove or change out the penny inside.
    The front therefore has cracks in it but it is intact nonetheless with no pieces missing.
    Anyway, it is a nice rare early advertising memento.  Nice reference to Allis-Chalmers to boot!!
