"Death Valley Days", and if I remember correctly it was hosted, for a while at least, by Ronald Reagan!

Wow, we older US based guys all remember the black and white cowboy show with 20 Mule Team Borax as the sponsor. Funny, I remember the sponsor clearly, but not the actual show name.

I don't think so, Charlie. The second box is still unopened. I opened the first box, when I first got it, to see exactly what it was. But the baggy is still sealed and I think I'll just leave it that way.
I'm so over my head in projects, Charlie, I don't know up from down sometimes.

I totally understand Benny. You have definitely been busy. The shop looks great!

Very nostalgic Benny.

Are you going to assemble it?

Yep ... way cool old model ... but then I may be a bit prejudiced as I essentially live "there"!!!
Cool. I enjoyed the west, for a time. I just missed the trees, water and southern hospitality of the South and decided to head home. The history that just stopped in place, like the old ghost towns and mines. I can't recall the name of the place, but my Pops and I stopped off at an old movie prop town, used in a number of cowboy movies in the 50s. It was essentially just like it was the day they stopped shooting.

Post by: Dr.Rev.DelmarMacReady on March 31, 2019, 07:48:49 pm: I found this when I was moving some things around. I had almost forgotten I picked it up at a garage sale some years ago.
Not particularly fancy, I just thought some of the older members might remember these. I just thought it was cool that it was unopened and complete.[attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4]
