I got these two interesting bell tops at a antique store out of all places to find them. If anyone can tell me what brand they are I’d appreciate it. The base is not correct on the cat bell. More toy cars . And a good deal on a Mattel motor.

My late father in law was a huge history buff. His family holds the title of Earl of Hunnington believed to be the title given to Robin hood by the King to stop his robbing ways. My father in law claimed to be a descendant of Robinhood. He collected lots of things,while going through Christmas stuff we also went through some of his belongings. He died young and it has been a bunch of years.My wife had not gone through the stuff for lack of time and I'm sure lack of desire to admit he is gone. Here are some of the paper monies he collected. Also these are 2 coins from 1150 kinda old haha. Lastly he traveled often across the pond with his Mum and collected items his whole life. This is a piece if shrapnel from a bomb dropped on London during WW2. he would have had family there that experienced the war and I'm sure it help to peek his interest in world events as a kid. As we go through his stuff I will post more, very interesting and awesome guy. We miss him very much especially around this time of year.

My good friend Bob Beazer (The Canadian Indian) of NHRA fame in the 50's & 60's, he wore the Indian headress outfit at the starting line. Well his wife the late Joan Beazer was the actual first lady to get a ladies NHRA Driver's license for unblown street class. When Bob and Joan would come and stay with us on their way to Bakersfield, they would have some great NHRA stories to tell about the good old days. He was in the movie Bikini Beach with Frankie and Anette, well I found this copy of her driver's license. She steered Roland Leone's Hawaiian Dragster in a parade lap. Google Bob Beazer the Canadian Indian for his story.

Picked up a couple of CWC bicycles. One is a 1937, model 0926 (thanks) serial number B34729 and a 1948 20” F59072Cw. Both excellent original paint. Really excited to add them to my collection. Can’t wait to clean them up and enjoy. Also found this vintage matchbook cover collection $6/eBay. All are rochester ny businesses from back in the day, sadly only one is still open. Most likely will frame them all together and hang up somewhere.

Sometimes you get lucky, a dream bike Christmas present to myself, an "extremely rare- R9.9" TOC Jonas Knoll leaf spring framed bike. I have wanted one of these ever since I saw an unbadged frame in a Midwest museum. They were made a couple towns away from Hershey, PA. The 1930's upgrades will be shedded and the bike will be put back to original state. In anticipation of its purchase I also picked up this Knoll mailer off Ebay a few days before the bicycle auction. Also huge thanks to Rudy for this New Departure Christmas counter display!
