Maybe you have a Greenwich-related item — a postcard, a milk bottle from the old Round Hill Farms, a menu from the former Manero's steakhouse, or a matchbook from the old Pickwick Arms (who remembers where that was located?). Or maybe you're looking for one of these iconic Greenwich collectibles. If you do and want to sell it, or you have a bunch of stuff to sell, you can click on your submit your photo or videos button above.

Today's item may be of interest to local mariners, especially as the boating season is poised to to begin—a Sea Beaver Cruiser First Marine Design & Engineering Greenwich CT ad 1948. The ad for the Greenwich-based company appeared in the January 1948 Motor Boating magazine. Bids are up to $8.95 with the sale closing in 13 days.
