'Cuz every now and then someone keeps your contact information and calls when the time is right.
Purchased a group of items from a funeral director whose retirement is looming. After 38 years working for same firm and 50 years total as an undertaker, he felt it best to start lightening the load. He knew that I'd genuinely appreciate small items kept through those years and find good homes if needed. Preserving history is important to him.
Nothing huge or spectacular. Enough to make for a wonderful weekend country drive though!
1930 National Casket Company book blows me away. Condition, size, subject matter...even the embossed 3D cover is Harry Potter worthy.
Almost 200 pages of goodness.
Solid copper vaults, plural as in more than one design. No joke. Imagine the grave robbing that would transpire if personal records became public knowledge.
New unused still in original shipping envelope. Even has accompanying holiday card. Nekkid women and private ambulance service? Who wouldn't use Tucker's!
Wreath used on '68 Chevy service car.
Vintage markers.
Only the brown Champion is a repeat in my collection.
Woo-hoo a Superior key fob!
Still need to find a yellow/black version...
Stopped on return trip and passed along dozens of FH fans (mainly prewar) and a few like vintage FH calendars to someone who gets into paper more than myself. 3 boxes total.
Models were also included and placed in toy forum. There are only a few items total I'd even consider moving along but you can always shoot a PM and ask.
