Several good pictures would really help your sale.  Is this a standard or deluxe model?  small or large hubcaps?

That is true for a Henry J but the Allstate's could be ordered five ways in 1952.
#210 4 cyl standard, #213 4 cyl dlx,  @214 4 cyl dlx with overdrive, #215 6 cyl dlx, #216 6 cyl dlx with overdrive.  My own car is a 4cyl with overdrive and I thought it was a standard but maybe not.  I don't know what features made them a standard or deluxe other than the size of the wheel covers.  The '52 brochure shows all illustrations of the cars with bumper guards and wheel covers but not the '53's. The dealer book for 1953 shows the large wheel covers as accessories not standard equipment plus no mention of bumper guards even as accessories.  There is still lots to learn about the Allstate's!

True Gordie - the Allstate model breakdown was a little different than the HJ>

Some how I ended up with Edgar Kaiser's personal engraved Zippo lighter with a Kaiser Industries logo on it and I think that it would be the perfect accessory for Edgar's Henry J glove compartment.  Edgar like everyone back then was a cigarette smoker.

Is that the same lighter Edgar used to start the Hydramatic plant fire?

A lot of people (including yours truly) don't fool with Zip files; does not work on older computers any more (you have to buy the current software that will not work on Windows 7 and earlier).  Post the pictures as theyr type (preferably JPG) and you may get more interest.
