Minnesota_Jones- I picked up some nice hats from a guy in Wilmington De. He had a bunch of early O Gauge trains Lionel he has them displayed in plexiglass show cases custom made. He put them on craigslist a couple times nobody bit not one enquiry! His grand kids don't want them. He bought these years ago as an investment and he knows the market went south,he's a really good guy. If you want to get in touch with me I'll provide info. I'm not into trains but I am old enough to know you will not see anything as nice as what he has!!

Nylint "Electronic Cannon" Truck, circa 1956
My Christmas gift to myself :D Came complete with the original missiles which are often missing and everything works, including the battery operated elevation mechanism!

This bank belonged to my father (b. 1911). I'm not sure if he was given this or was passed down from his two older brothers. It has slots fore and aft to drop your coins in and is held together by a screw on the left side. There is no manufacturers name on it.

Wish it were mine!
I came upon this beauty while surfing eBay. Unfortunately it's $1,500!!! It's a 1950s vintage handmade control line model of a Fw-190 that actually flies. Thought I'd preserve the pics before it disappears from eBay. According to the description it was originally made by a WWII vet for his son who is deceased.

Not vintage per se but definitely a vintage subject! Diecast '56 Ford COE Auto Hauler and '57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser by M2 Machines. Picked it up at the flea market where I was selling today.
