Saw this and I thought I would share it, seems I remember some letterheads collecting and lettering the larger ones.
Here's an excerpt from the ToyCollector Magazine Website...."Nearly 50 pedal cars will be offered, some of them in all-original condition and others having benefited from professional restoration. Among the highlights are a large, enclosed Packard [a comparable one in the last Kaufman sale made $30,000], a couple of tandem pedal cars and a fine grouping of fire-theme pedal cars, including a late-1920s model with a water tower."
You can read the rest of the article at...

So far the tally from the actions total $9 million.
Makes me wonder if I am collecting the right stuff.

There is a follow up video to this, where all the items are up for auction.
Was that 9 or 90 thousand for that one item? Unbelievable!
Someone posted that Mr Kaufman passed away.
End your Passion, End your Life.

Larry, I think you've become the second Winchester House, "Keep Building".
