Another of my displays from my local club's show from this past weekend! Hope some of you enjoy! These draw interest from Young and Old!

Merton!  How many displays did you have??:eek:

Looks like you had at least 3 different types of things on display.

Bet my grandson would like one of those Honda mini trail bikes.

Back around 1970, my son bought a Honda 50cc mini bike from another kid.  After we pushed it around the yard for a while, we decided it wasn't going to start unless we got some compression.  I put in a new piston and gound the valves.  Started on the second kick.  What a little snot.  First gear was so low it would have climbed a vertical wall it it were able to hang on.  My son got a lot of use from it.

I think the pedal tractors are worth around the same money at auction as the real ones, or are they worth more??

Nice items, Merton.

I wanted to share another picture of one of my displays from last weekend. This is my display of Whistles that I run off Compressed Air. They are a big hit also with young and old. George this event is my "home" show and I try to supply as many displays as I can to support it. Charlie V yes some times the pedal tractors bring big $$$$$. The pedal tractors are neat. My old pedal tractor is safe at home and it's green and looks odd with all this red paint around it.

Here's my IHC Tom Thumb I purchased at Portland Aug 08. Just finished this spring. First time out at our 09 Show. Anybody notice how quiet it has been?

Merton,

I don't think many people visit these forums.  Hopefully they will pick up some day.  Nice collection of engines, if only I had the time..
