Ah ha, so Cretors didn't make them that small, but somebody else has scaled them down more recently.

May not be better than having an original, but it is awfully dang cool anyway, for certain and for sure!!!

Nick I just wanted to say I admire your tenacity. You've put a lot of good items up for all to see for nearly a year. I knew you had the inventory to swing it, very impressive collection.😊 thank you!

As Bruce mentioned, been a super enjoyable thread Nick.
I hope you've got all these mentioned and listed on your home insurance policy, because you have all the photographic proof now!

Thanks for the kind words! It hasn’t been easy to keep going for this long, but it sure has been fun digging out pieces I haven’t seen in awhile
