Title: Made my first purchase!
Post by: Rauville on December 22, 2011, 06:03:50 PM

Hard to believe, but I just never stop at thrift stores. I may change my thinking on that, after finding and purchasing something pretty darn cool.

Maybe I paid too much? It was the grand total of $19.08!

Every now and then something wonderful pops up at the thrift store. Love your truck! It would be fun to hang something from the crane/winch, like a candy or nut dish full of goodies, or a bundle of peppermint sticks at Christmas.

Wow, that's a nice truck! Well worth the $19.08 you paid for it! If your timing is right at the thrift store you would be amazed at what you can get. That truck would
not have lasted another ten minutes on display!

Check out this link below. Looks like another one like yours which I think is in rougher condition than yours that went for $500! Is this the same type of model truck as yours?

Right, KC, ........ me thinks that truck just may have infected Rauville with a severe case of Antique Pox ........ which there is no known cure for.   ;D ;D ;D
