Default Stuff you forgot you had........

Last evening I was going through a cabinet looking for something else when I came across this. It was in a plain brown cardboard box and frankly I had no idea what was in the box. It was all taped up quite securely and my curiosity absolutely got the best of me. Glad I opened because I had completely forgotten about this little gem.

I did some business with Mark ages ago and he was a stand up guy. I will have to put this on display next to my other flathead items.

It is so comforting to see other barners making such discoveries. I love the white roof tutone. Great find!

That little toy truck is definitely a "keeper collectible".
Sure wish Mark was still with us.

I found a 50lb oil sending unit I had in a box of parts for 40 years. Try to find one today.

Okay, I kept digging through that same cabinet and came across this! I'm going to have to start checking my cabinets a little closer. I might have something of real value in there.
