What else is there?? I mean come on, Mopars are my life!!
Actually, my wife and I love antiques. We owned and ran a shop for about 5 years. We don't have the shop anymore, but still love to go antiquing and collecting. I like to refinish furniture and collect old toys, military items, old advertising items, old bottles with original paper labels (it's amazing what used to be used for a "Remedy"!! Old car stuff, Civil war stuff, actually anything over 100 years old. Just the odd and unusual!! I stuck in a couple of pics of some old wind up tin toys & stuff. Gertie the Galloping Goose made by Unique Art, in the late 30's and a wind-up tin & celluloid Santa from the 50's, a bottle of bug repellant from around 1890 (Skeeter Shoo!), and does anyone recognize this?? It's a Mopar (Dinky Toy) 1959 Dodge Royal. Unfortunately someone tried to do a "custom" paint job on it. (like something I would have done as a kid!!)
& one of my favorites a circa 1930 Russian made chronometer with a liquid filled gimbaled compass flanked on eack side by brass diving bells (valued at about 2K). It was most likely a presentation piece for a high ranking Russian officer.. Pretty fun!!
