Wife and I took a trip south of Grand Rapids (Hi Zeb!) to a town called Allegan MI, there is a monthly Antique/flea market there. We also stopped at one antique store on the way back. This year I saw the most Diecast I've ever seen at this show, even HWs redlines at decent prices. I was amazed, I guess the ebay thing is wearing off. I didn't pick up an HWs RLs, but I did gaze at a near Perfect TNT Bird for $85. Also passed up a JL in the bubble, with all the card torn away for $60, sorry I forgot the model will have to look it up. What did I get? Look below.

First, a Tootsietoy 1960s Criss Craft boat, I had the trailer, needed the boat

A Tootsietoy Horse Trailer with the top. You hardly ever find the tops, this is from the 1960s

Then a 1942-1946 Tootsietoy #1019 Truck

Then a 1932 Tootsietoy 2" model, looks like a Buick to me, this was made for a car hauler in the 30s

This one was probably my best buy, it's rough, but it's my first JL Detroit, a Custom GTO with opening doors. It is missing a roof mount on the drivers side and lots of paint loss, but for $2 I couldn't complain

And finally, my prettiest find, a Custom XKE in Orange, very nice

As these were picked up for under $50 total costs.

Thanks for looking

I dig those old cars that had the hitch and trailer (matchbox,tootsietoy, etc). My grandma used to have a bunch of those that we would play with as kids.
