Sunday's Show and Tell...4/28/19

my stuff

Another LIONEL gg-1

V-dubs A bunch big and small. The large blue one is a bump and go….when it runs into something it turns and moves off into another direction.

Rubber cars from the 0930’s. Love the streamlined look of the blue car

.

Toy tractors Made in the USA

Couple of old lanterns. The black one is from the 1920’s I think and was made into a lamp because the kerosene bowl is pretty much rusted thru. I started the process of making a false bottom and plan to install a “flicker” type bulb that looks like it’s a flame. The Dietz Night Watch was last made in the 1950’s and looks like It was never used.

It’s the first bike I have bought in a while and the first time I have posted in a while. Snagged it at a local swap meet. I love my patina bikes.

This Rollfast was payment for selling all 10 of my buddy’s bikes! What a chore that was! The 26” rear rim is a placeholder til i reassemble the original one. She does need some loving!

I usually don't post much on here, because I usually don't find much. But this past week I found more things than I ever thought I could. I found some sweet wrenches and a very cool Ford hood ornament that was attached to a bike fender which are pictured below. Other things that I found can't really be found online that would be a lot of new friends at the ML show. It was funny my wife told me to go because you'll never know until you find out for yourself, Patric said go and be prepared to have a wonderful time and take plenty of pictures, (Sorry Patric I talk to much to even think about taking pics, lol!) then my new friend Brant asked a few times if I was going or not and he said the same thing as Tricia. So I ended up going, didn't buy a lot but I got to hear some cool stories and met a lot of good people that don't know a lot about the internet. When I got back home I told Tricia I would have been happy with money for gas, food, and board. So I would like to tell you all don't judge a book by its cover, meaning several people on here are not computer savvy and if it seems like they're being short with you online they just don't like using computers. I actually met Scott McCaskey and I told him thanks for thecabe and keep up the good work. Sorry if I didn't get to meet you this time there will be a next. I would like to thank everyone for being so kind and yes I like to talk, lol! Sorry for it being so long.

Thank you, Sean
P.S. Scott I saw you looking at my tattoos.

Picked up a rear stand for my Hawthorne with a clip. Fenders were found a few weeks ago, they look ok on it. Torrington bars. The best find was these wheels, New Departure DD with the cable, wheel clamps, and shifter, rims are I think Tripple Steps, never had any before, correct me if I am wrong. Also a nice 3 rib front loader, missing the lens. Anyone have a lens

to sell.
