It's not inconceivable the family bought it from the Bentley's after we discovered the hobby via a newspaper article about Congress. I have numerous pictures of it housing my models, particularly my beloved Halla, labeled 1977.

(Think Homer Simpson.)<br /><br />He did make me a scooter out of a pair of roller skates, a couple of two-by-fours, and some handlebars salvaged from an old tricycle.

I remember the #1 item on my list for Santa one year being the traditional wooden stable. My world was slightly small at the time, so if it wasn't in the Sears Wish Book or carried by Milton Bradley Toy Store it simply didn't exist for me. So, I guess I saw it in one or the other. Sadly, Santa had a shortage so Daddy to the rescue. Daddy was handy with a saw and had a ton of patience. He crafted a custom 2 story stable with a loft and made a fence, too! Not sure what became of the fence but I still have the stable. It needs maintenance but thank goodness I kept it all these years. This is one time I'm thankful to add a item to the to do list. :)Second Childhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811724569691855848noreply@blogger.com
