I live for the CABE
Another miserable weather week so antiquing I go.
First up is the Hubley made Lindy plane probably from the 1920’s. Prop broken and non-original landing gear but it is an oldie but goodie. These bring good money if complete but I thought this would make a great fender ornament for a rat rod or patina “laced” bike. 4” long by 3 ½” wide. Can’t figure out what that hole in the nose right in back of the prop is for.
How about a little Civil War history. The medal is a souvenir of the 1898 GAR convention. GAR was the CW equivalent of the VFW and they held reunions for many years, the most famous of which were at Gettysburg. I printed a post card from the event I found on the net and mounted it and the medal to card board. Highly unlikely, but I wonder if one of those marching in the photo was wearing this very medal.
Chalk these up to my very modest collection. Added two dogs yesterday. For those too young to know, these were game prizes given by midway venders at fairs, carnivals, etc. Very fragile and easy to break, most of mine have some defects cause I don’t buy em’ unless cheap. Also have a bird, elephant, and a very nice cat.
What’s with this boat? I think its old but don’t know for sure. Looks like someone made it into a watering can? I do believe it’s got some age, but that’s about all I know.

Finally riding a big boys bike
Haven’t found a thing bicycle related lately....starting to wonder if there is anything left around here. Ever get that feeling? Did drag home some stuff I like though.
A Dayton Friction Toy dump truck made here in Dayton in the 20’s. A Sinclair tanker and a Tonka Mighty wrecker to add to the collection.

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I feel you, I work 4 miles from home and it took me an hour and a half to get home. People can’t drive! My commute Friday in the STL.

Was a good week! Scored this Elgin twin 30 ( i think) in original paint! Missing some key parts. Also some 28” skins for another project! Crappy indoor pic due to crappy weather.
