I picked up the 1930 local newspaper page on hard backing a while ago. Today I picked this late 30's/early 40's local bicycle and fishing/hunting catalogue. Never heard of the Bicycle Sales Co before.

A few items this week….
Couple 29” bars thanks Dan @bicyclebones

killer 22 tooth nd sprocket, thanks again Rolando @Kickstand3

a killer set of original fenders for the 53 phantom thanks again Tim @Tim elder

As you can see it’s still missing something that should be here this week! Now just need a original rack…

Picked up a bunch of stuff, but im most pleased with this ratty pair of Magna “tear-drop” pedals i found 3 streets away from my childhood home.
Already on my project!

I've been kinda busy chasing parts for the 1964 Honda Cub and my 1958 Pontiac Bonneville. Also..... I've been playing with tin toy cars for decades ( collecting and tinkering) and think I posted a before/after on a green '57 Ford Ranchero ( I made the new windows and swapped all the trim from a parts car), then I bought a '56 Ford Convertible/pretty rusty nickel on it, so bought a couple parts cars and swapped all the brightwork but the windshield frame and trunk hinge buttons. ( the Rusty before shots don't seem to wanna load)

Today I got a cool Studebaker NOS lap seatbelt ( I think it's from the 60's/may be the same as in my 1963 Studebaker Avanti ( actually comes with a stock roll bar in the roof!) I may hang in seat area on my '50 Stude Bullet nose Starlight coup seat, just for decor. It didn't come with seatbelts and I love that. The limestone building behind the Avanti is a vintage Private School in the neighbourhood. I live in a shoe.

Also at this antique show/flea market I bought a 1963 Pelham puppet ( all wood/handpainted) pretty much mint in the box of a dragon( I had him dancing in a video on my FB site, I'm not tech savvy enough to put a video on the Cabe). I'm thinking "Puff the Magic Dragon" from Peter Paul and Mary in 1963 ( I was 7 years old), a favourite song of mine as a youth.

You did well, how was the turnout?

Pretty decent for a small show and some stuff was moving. I think both MLC and Monroe will be the bellwether to see where the hobby is this year.

That is a cool coin; how many defects make their way out of a mint?

Not many, especially double struck! Off center (single strike, off center) was fairly common to see at coin shows. Around the year 2001 they put in new equipment that pretty much eliminated off center coins leaving the mint.
I had a retired Brinks worker sell me quite a few off center coins years ago from the 80’s. As they rolled coins they could simply replace errors with their pocket change! What a job
