Robb.- Heh heh, I keep losing track of how you keep this stuff! Guess I just can't imagine having it all around, despite (or perhaps *because of*) my having spent a lifetime accumulating stuff.

Found this on the side of the road the other day.....

 

[Robb.]

Due to my grandmother passing away this last week, I was unable to go out to sales, but I did manage to go to a thrift shop and find this near mint 1983-1988 Mighty Tonka Dump for $10.
I used to have this exact one as a kid.

 

[Accumulator]

Robb.- It's always fun to find a great example of a toy you had as a kid!

Sorry to har about your grandmother, I hope she made it to a ripe old age and had a good life.

Those Tonkas *are* nice. You're getting to have quite a collection of 'em, huh?

BTW, failed to post back earlier- Hope your grandmother enjoyed her 82 years. Sounds like a nice long run, but I bet you miss her and wish she'd had more.

Found a nice late 1970's tonka pickup today as well as picked a pile of trash at the curb and found
a vintage 1970's B/A outboard motor oil jug and a sealed oil filter.

cleaned up

 

[Accumulator]

I was initially a little, uhm....dubious about picking that curbside pile, but after looking it over more closely I can see why you stopped.

I had a great day today at the thrift shops.
Found all these records, mint in shrinkwrap still.
Also found a couple nice 45's 7" singles and a very rare Beatles cassette.
Never seen this one before. Anyone know its value ? cant find any info

 

[Robb.]

This weeks finds:


Records were $1-$2 each
1986 Tonka Van was $2.99

 

[Accumulator]

The Cory Hart LP sorta creeps me out, considering what he was going through.

Did the Tonka van originally have a (full) roof spoiler?

Mid 1960's Tonka Plow tow Jeep ! (missing rear wench) ALL ORIGINAL MINT !
Rolling Stones single

 

[Accumulator]

Gee, that Jeep *is* mint.

 

[Robb.]

Got the record for free.
The cassettes are from the thrift shop.

 

[Accumulator]

I'm guessing that your Hondas have cassette players...still the OE ones? Given their vintage I can't help but think of the Nachamichi (?SP?) units I had back then...
