This is an original 4 page Sales Leaflet/ Brochure for the " TheRud Snow chains"  It appears to have been printed in July 1970 and is in German.   I will be lifting another one which is from May 1970 with different pictures and wheel sizes etc but as I don't speak German I am not quite sure what the differences are.  I think we used to offer the option of Rud snow chains with the Schmidt snow cutters we sold.

Please look out for my other items.

I retired and moved house some years ago which led to having a big sort out.   We took a load of things to the charity shop but I decided to try to sell some of the more ‘obscure’ treasures on ebay with the proceeds going directly to charity.  

At risk of sounding like Gerard Ratner some of the items may appear complete junk, but I believe they will be attractive to others.   Anybody who knows me will know that I am a hoarder and I never normally throw anything away so by selling it for charity it helps to justify getting rid of things!

Over the coming weeks and months I plan to put hundreds of lots up on the site, I have taken a years longer than I originally intended but the ammount raised is now not far short of £10,000 (the original target was £1,000), so now there are no targets but I just want to raise as much as I can for the charity.   The items will mostly be Car, Lorry, tractor and miscellaneous equipment leaflets and brochures.  but it will also include Various Art books, Art catalogues, as well as other books, post cards and bric a brac.   Basically something for everyone so can I suggest that you follow me as a seller (Artb1960) and tell any of your friends who you think may also be interested.

100%  of the sale proceeds will go directly to charity, so please bid generously.  (Any item which is being sold for Charity is marked with a blue and yellow ribbon to indicate it is a charity item) The charity I originally chose to support was ‘Send a Cow’ as a farmer friend of mine from my village was instrumental in setting this charity up and sadly his wife died in 2016 and so this is a sort of tribute to her.  Unfortunately, it appears that this charity is no longer in their program so I have changed it to MAF, Missionary Aviation Fellowship which is involved in helping people in remote areas which can only realistically be reached by air

When I cleared out my office, when I retired I found a large number of old leaflets relating to old machinery, tractors and lorries/trucks etc. which the new management of the company did not want, but which I’m sure will be of interest to some collectors of such equipment.   Some of these items date back to the fifties and sixties

There will also be some other miscellaneous items from our cupboards and attic.   Please help support this charity by buying some of the items offered….happy bidding.

I am always happy to look at reducing the total carriage for purchases of multiple lots which are paid for on one invoice and can be shipped together.   If you would like me to combine shipping then please let me know when you have ‘finished buying’ …. Then I will work out the combined shipping.

Polite Request:   For overseas customers where I have to fill in a CN22 customs form, PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO LIE ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE ITEMS AS I WILL ALWAYS PUT THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THEM ON THE FORM.   I like to try to keep all of my customers happy, and I do not want to disappoint any of you so, to avoid disappointment, please do not ask, as my answer will always be the same.   I hate confrontation and upsetting people and I have found it quite stressful having to explain this issue when a customer complains that he/she may have to pay VAT or Customs duties on the goods.   I am sorry about this, but it is not my problem.
