Yard sale scores

[bigbubba]

Hit a few yard sales this morning,Heres what i got.
Craftsman heavy duty 9" grinder $10 Needs cleaned up.

Montgomery Ward Sander polisher $2

Box full of models,The canoe is real wood.Never saw that before? $20 for all

And these cards were inside the plastic of the models,Anybody ever seen these before?

Then bought these 2 testers for $5

Not bad for a foggy/gloomy day huh?

The model kits with the cards are from VA Hospitals or Veterans care centers. My dad had several of these kits when he was in the VA Hospital for several weeks. Building models is something you can do while bed ridden for long periods. You were allowed a certain number of models per week and you could take unbuilt kits home if you didn't build all you were entitled to. One of my sons friends brought a bunch of kits home from the Gulf from when he was in the VA hospital over there. The real wood canoe is typical beginner ship models, Lots of stick built small boat models to get you started in fine scale model ship building Dory's ,Row boats of all kinds small run abouts etc. I have a scale Whale boat kit like this the row boat they would chase the whale down in and harpoon from.

I'm thinking Sioux made it for Craftsman. Doesn't have a round knob at the end where the cord goes in ?

More importantly, most likely these kits were donated to HHV.org to distribute to the veterans.

That organization has done a great job helping our vets!
