I wanted my 100th Show and Tell post to be special, so I thought I would post my display of fans and toy vehicles! The top of the display case (from left to right) - '20s Arctic, '40s Fasco, '40s-'50s Emerson Jr., 1950 GE, 1947 Rex-Ray drugstore fan. A few of our favorites in here are the '40s Buddy L Sand and Gravel truck, the 1960 Marx tractor, and the Goodyear Brute set. Hope you enjoy!
