Question for collectors...
I went to an estate sale last weekend. The deceased was 91. He had inherited some stuff from his brother who had been in the antique business back east a long time ago. I bought this junk for $100. It was in a box. There is a packing slip dated 1958. Does anyone know anything about this stuff?????

2. I'm sorry, but it is all worthless junk.
However, I am a collector of worthless junk and I will be willing to take this worthless junk off your hands at no charge.

8. Did Pappy * come with the Avengers?
He'd greatly reduce their value, y'know.



And if you don't want Ms. Earhart and Mr. Miller, I'll take 'em off your hands.
