Fellow collectors after admiring the Britains set of the Changing of the Guard (a photo of same I first saw in a Corrs of Washington catalog in the 1950's) I have finally acquired the set in mint, tied-in-box condition. Now, I just have to find a place to display it. :rolleyes2:

Well you had some great sets. I wish I had taken part in that Old Toy Soldier auction. Only got into those auctions lately.

What fun to see these Britains and Elastolin figures - many of which I had or still have but most without their boxes. Hope your 2016 auction was successful. (Is that a Navajo rug in the picture?)

Gotta to see this one. Loved "They Shall Not Grow Old" last year.

I'm 73 - makes me one of the "old guys" here. Began playing with toy soldiers sometime around age 7 I'd guess. Began collecting​ in my 30's.

Thanks for all of these videos! (It must have taken awhile to find them all.) :salute::

At age 73 I've long thought about what happens to my collection after I'm gone. Part of it will appeal to those here on the Forum (i.e. pre 1968 Britains, Elastolin, Johill, etc.) but the much larger part of it consists of Flats - something of relatively little interest to collectors either in...

Still, it's hard to beat Miracle on 34th Street.

Well fortunately for the kids the forecast of snow on Halloween in Saint Louis didn't work out. Unfortunately for them it was near freezing that night.

Rain now, freezing rain later over night and some snow by 7AM in Saint Louis. Or so they say.

Agree with jazzeum.

I was wondering about those white uniforms, too. In any color film clips I've seen of Hitler he was the only one wearing white.

Hate to sound like one-upmanship, but yesterday Colorado Springs got 8" and a bit further west Salida, CO. got 14". Happy Halloween, kids! {sm4}

Can you provide a photo?

Maybe it got too many replies?

Great pictures which gives you a feel for the conditions the crew had to endure although some of the more "personal" aspects need to be seen directly when touring on board. I've been to two tours and the docents are great. If you haven't been there try to go.

Just won via the OTS auction a mint set of Herald Civil War Confederates with their box and the Herald catalog. I always liked those figures from my days of yore and now I have them. But where to display them? My wife thinks we need another house {sm4}.

None in the last two weeks, but within the next two weeks I hope to win all 8 lots I've bid on in the Old Toy Soldier auction which begins October 11.

All I can say to this is ... GO CARDINALS! {sm4}

I loved Stan and Ollie, and as a result bought a couple of books on the two. It looks as if the movie exaggerated any dissension between the two viz acting in movies without the other. Each did dozens.
