Thank you, BELLIN68! I think that they are great, too. The C&O ashtray is one of the gems of my collection.
I collect all kinds of things, but have a special interest in railroad, drinks, and sports items. Well, I could be involved in worse activities!
Ya never know, that rare stuff could be found at least suspected places. Keep your eyes open, and it will appear...sometimes miraculously! Go to as many auctions, yard and estate sales as you can. You'll have a good time, and often will come away with a treasure!
Thank you all for your kind comments and informative input...it is very much appreciated!
This is part of the allure of collecting things. The knowledge and items that we share leads to camaraderie and the more knowledge that each of us, the better off we are. And then we can pass that knowledge onto others, which is also good!
OK...that sounds good..and the book does too!
Thank you for all of the loves!
