This collection represents better days in the automotive industry.

It will appeal to the Chevy fans, and is possibily the greatest
collection of that GM brand around.

There is also something very unusual about this collection. First
person to recognize what it is gets a free, rec.boats "Atta-Boy" (or
Girl, as the case may be)

Kinda hard to tell, but are they all rag tops?


That's it. Surprised me because when I first studied this collection and
was told there was something unusual about it, I didn't get it. I was
looking for colors, or room uniqueness, etc.

I guess I'll never be a detective.

I had more fun with my Gilbert Chemistry set than you can imagine.
That's what got me interested in science and math to tell the truth.

My favorite thing was mixing up test sets for soil acidity, pH and
stuff like that. I even made a chemical Barometer once.

Man that was fun. My brother has all our American Flyer train sets -
one
of my Dad's
friends at the Milwaukee Sentinel was a huge model train buff and gave
us a bunch of stuff every year. I never got into trains for some
reason - I was more into radios and chemicals. :)

I had chem sets and erector sets, too. I used to build some humongous
stuff with the erector sets, but if memory serves, there were no lock
washers, so everything eventually sort of loosed itself to bits.

I liked the part of the chemistry set where you made rocket fuel, etc. As
to erector sets, never had one, but since dad owned one of the bigger
machine shops in the area, I got to build with real steel. Could turn out
a
great breech loading cannon on the lathe at 10 years old. Then could put
the chemistry set to use. Jetex fuses were the purchased parts.



The best amateur rocket fuel for the masses was potassium nitrate and
sugar, baked in the oven. You could put this in an empty Crossman CO2
cylinder with the end drilled out to 1/4" and shoot a Bering cigar
tube into the next zip code.
Harder to get was zinc dust for zinc dust and sulphur but that went
right up too.
Don't use match heads. That makes a grenade. ;-)

We used zinc dust and sulphur. For some reason we had no problem getting
the zinc. And since grandparents and uncle ran a farm, powdered sulphur was
available in gross amounts. We used a lot of aluminum tube the we necked
down the nozzle portion. They went extremely well.

LOL. I don't think affording anything is one of his problems.

I picked up on that in about 10 seconds...mainly because convertibles aren't
that popular or practical in our cool damp climate.
mmmmmm I guess boats and motorcycles could also fit that category.

No, it was the United States then, and still is. Unless you're talking
about the continents.

Do you even know what 'continent' you're wasting space on, dummy?


My guess: he is incontinent.

It's interesting to see that you find such posts worthy of 'praise'.

Hit a bit too close to home for you.......?
They have meds that might help.

Uh, YOU are the one that can't figure that out. Remember? YOU were the
one that was saying something about "Americans" when you ARE one.

Duh! I live north of the border in the *true* Land of the Free.....Canada
Although I do see sunnier days on your horizon, if y'all will just
co-operate and quit lookin' for a handout.

Man you are dumb. You just can't quite grasp the concept that you are
living in North America, can you? You see, I understand that you don't
know this, but our country is called The United States *OF*
America............

************************************************** ****************

I see...when things are going good for y'all down there it's 'Canada who'??
Now that you'd screwed the worlds financial systems.. it's 'us'.
Forget it... your screwup...you take the blame like men.
