So...you collect what?

Post by Robare M. Novou »

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.

Just like, there's always room for one more building!


I had a sacred vision! After I finish the church, I'm gonna build the fur trapper's cabin!

Hey Larry, while yer at it building away the town of yer dreams...do you think you got time to build a "Town Library" building?

I would donate a sign for that building if you did.
