The old ( pre WWII ) Lionel trains and accessories are now worth a king's ransom; the same with Bing and American Flyer. These were toys and meant to be played with; yet their value, especially mint and of course, with the boxes, are highly prized.
And would you believe that really old CrackerJack prizes are also BIG collectibles as well ?
We moved to Lionel?
My favorite product of theirs is their geiger counters. Not the best, but a great 60’s made product.
BTW, weren’t you all into Rudy back awhile ago and just as intensly groupie as with Palin?
Absolutely! And, interesting things like vintage Harley Davidson manuals..we just sold two of them from the 40's for close to $300...because most were simply thrown away over the years. Our client's Dad had saved them because he was a motorcycle enthusiast in his youth.
As silly as it sounds, I really try to find these items "good homes" as though they are pets or something...LOL!
