  1. Thanks, JScott. I was thinking about adding jelly beans on the stage floor too but, naaaaa.
  2. Thanks, guys. I don't really search out and collect these type of railroad items but it's amazing what you acquire and keep over the years when you come across them. I like the oh so heavy cast iron a...
  3. Correction...Actually the higher tax is State, the lower tax is Federal.
  4. Not sure but I'm assuming one tax, the higher one, is federal and the lower tax is state or local. May have been required at the time to show both.
  5. The box also includes the insert with cutouts that held the various parts of the kit during the packaging of the model.
  6. Yep, I realize the value of the Crusaders. Not shown due to a limit of only four photos allowed are the contents of the box. The end label specifies the Reading Crusader, the contents includes the ins...
  7. Yes, I do concur. Comparing with what an actual 1787 Connecticut copper piece looks like I can see the similarities of the silhouette and the location of the C O. Mystery solved. Thanks.
  8. Me too! I have a few others in my stuff. A 5" diameter Penberthy from whatever, factory, tractor, or ?. I also have a 5" whistle that has no marking as to maker Are you knowledgeable to take a stab at...
  9. You're welcome. Your post made me think of other games we had in the 60's. The Last Straw, Mouse Trap, Booby Trap, Hands Down.....to name a few.
  10. Update: YouTube link of the game. https://youtu.be/XSjCazfH-_g
  11. Can't come up with the name. But as kids we had that game. There should be yellow and red disc's that slip on the red bar. Once assembled you stuck one end of the rod into the feet piece. Carefully Re...
  12. Thanks, Fort
  13. Just did a quick search on eBay, this looks like his collar. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tactical-Dog-Collar-w-Handle-Heavy-Duty-Military-Service-Canine-Training-K9-/265469246735?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trk...
  14. Not sure the make of collar. It appears to be heavy sewn nylon with a metal quick clip latch with a small metal ring for his license. And a handy dandy built in handle to grab him easily if need be. ...
  15. Yes, Fort. The parent company was called 21st Century Toys. They marketed them as Ultimate Soldier and thru Walmart as Motorworks. BBi then came in the picture and sold under the name Elite Force. N...
  16. Blunder, this Sopwith is 1/28th scale. 12" Wingspan, 9" in length.
  17. Thanks J. And I added a new photo post depicting the dogfight scene I had imagined.
  18. Thanks, guys. My goal is to make replicas look as real as my abilities allow. I may attempt a dog fight scene later today. I'll post a result at some point if I get what I'm after.
  19. Thanks Dav!
  20. Yep, that's the wall I ran into since acquiring it and researching it. Just nothing out there that I can find in regards to the trumpet part.
  21. Added a few more photos. Embossing is exactly the same on both Whistles. The trumpet version has additional embossing on the trumpet.
  22. No problem. It doesn't look like you have any of the paperwork. Instructions can be found online here. https://hoseeker.net/pennlineinstructions.html Just look for the T1 file.
  23. Ok, that one represents the PRR T1 4-4-4-4. One of the earlier Penn Line models which later was produced by Bowser Trains when they bought the Penn Line brand. Came with either a single motor or dual ...
  24. Hi Brian, Can you post a few photos of what you inherited? Most likely they can be identified for you. Just start a new posting.
  25. Thanks for the comments guys. There are a few more trailer/tanker names I'd like to acquire some day. Currently the most unique one I have is the one painted up for the Marklin trailer. This was done ...
  26. I can't remember if it was the same year that the 909 ran off the runway at the local airshow or a year or two prior. But I used to go to the airport on the Friday to watch the incoming warbirds that ...
  27. Here is a YouTube video of an Aviation expert, a good one, that describes what the NTSB reported. This is part 1, there is also a part 2 you can look for too. https://youtu.be/G3dD98IqEUk If I...
  28. Trail cams are great. You can spend a little, or a lot. I got this one for under 30. Good night pics and day pics as well. Uses a microcard for its photo storage.
  29. Thanks Watchsearcher, I think so too. I'll post a few of my favorites in another post.
  30. I grew up in the mid-late 60's so I missed the air raid drills. At least I don't recall any. Just the standard fire drills in school.. There are youtube vids showing demonstrations of restored Chrysl...
  31. Blunderbuss2, I suppose these model engines from Stuart could have been used to demonstrate any kind of use the real engines were used for, mainly in factories powering numerous equipment. A pulley ...
  32. Ahhhh, that answers that I do believe. From the hand Etched number and the documentation of the added "5", it sure sounds like this is very well a 5th pressing from late 1964. Evidently Capitol Recor...
  33. Thanks Keramikos for that link. Early research I found years ago showed there were two releases in 1964 with the orange/yellow swirl label. Stereo and Mono. I never knew which I had. And even with the...
  34. Hindsight, an amazing thing! I have a hunch I know how the Corvette ended up in the back yard, a hundred feet from the house. Maybe a Badminton Racket played a small role.
  35. Thanks for those links. Yeah, woulda been nice if a construction number was cast into the plate and a construction data base was still around. That would make it easy to i.d. the bridge. But, it is wh...
  36. Anythingobscure, no, Tippy was a 80/20 indoor/outdoor pet. Near the end, she went temporarily missing for about 4 days. Cats kinda know when their time is near and go off. I spotted her outside and f...
  37. Thanks. I may try and upgrade a few of the Antifreeze colors to other colors not represented here. Spectraflame colors were great.
