The Collector's Museum Eighteen cases containing thousands smaller items are on display. Including this extensive collection of Happy Face (Smiley Face) items from the seventies.

I started a new group so ANYONE can post pictures of their hobby! 👉 Click here to join the group and start sharing: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2048314719425288/ There are around two hundred items in this collection alone. The baby in the foreground is crawling across a case of Garbage Pail Kids collectibles from the eighties. Garbage Pail items were taken out of production because the makers of Cabbage Patch Doll sued and won because they were being made mockery of. To the left is the prototype Rocky & Bullwinkle Pinball machine. In the museum is also the original Elton John Pinball Wizard pinball machine. There is a Baby Pac Man, and the original x-***ed South Park Pinball. Other collections include, Children's Toy Electric Stoves, Portable Radios, Pot metal Souvenir buildings, Automobile memorabilia, Puppets, Carnival Chalkware, Model cars, dealer promotion cars and Dinky Toys, Worlds Fair from the 1800's through Seattle, Max Headroom Collectibles, Portable televisions, Automobile dealer promotion items, Brides and grooms (wedding cake tops), British Royalty, King and Queen, Clock Radios, and Magic Lanterns and glass slides from the turn of the century.

My E-mail, the tire company, who's ads, I've been a fan of, since maybe 12, plus my initials, hence Fisksd! They've always been, pretty exceptional! Do you have a favorite Fisk advertisement? I also, really liked the "W**d Tire Chains" ads, almost as much, they actually, were a bit more exciting!

My pal, Katie having met Marvin, first at the museum, lunch and then pals. She wrote this nice memorial today. I connected with him, numerous time at the museum and numerous “Cars and Coffee” events in Novato. It was there, when he saw my Batcar, I learned he also worked with George Barris, in creating the “Batmobile”. He had quite an exceptional old car/hot rod history! “A true mensch ❤️💔

I met Marvin just months after he lost his beloved wife Pam at a friend’s car museum. Warm, compassionate, funny, endlessly curious, and as interested in listening as he was in sharing a lifetime of wonderful stories, especially those about the woman he adored.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch this beautiful film by St. Vincent de Paul, an organization that was there for him when he needed it most. And if his story touches you, please consider making a donation in his memory, so others can be reminded of their dignity, worth, and humanity when life takes an unexpected turn.” The first comment, will have the video link!

Let’s go for a ride, in a 1930 Ahrens-Fox Model M-X-2 Pump and Hose Car! They just got it running, after issues with the starter motor. The engine is huge, with 1,032 Cu Ins , which requires 3 spark plugs per cylinder. Part of my big fun here, in Hershey, Penn.!
