A Revisit to the Buddy 'L' Museum

The time is moving fast now, and it's getting closer to Christmas. I had to get in one more post before the holiday, and so I decided to see what's up at the

Buddy L Museum.  I'd written many times about the museum and the 

specialization in collecting Buddy 'L' toys from the past. 

The Museum is located in Carversville, Pennsylvania, USA

The museum is always buying Buddy 'L' toys for their museum, 

and their website is a great resource and reference locale for

anyone interested in learning about the Buddy 'L' company and  their toys

that they once made.

The Buddy 'L' toy were made of pressed steel, and you can see how they've 

lasted over the years.While I writing this post, I had to search for the 

dimensions of these toys. When I did so, I was amazed at how many of these toys were produced. Doing the search with Google brought a plethora (a large amount)  of results. I was surprised to see how many toys must have been produced by the Buddy L Company.  

I was also amazed to see how many of these toys appear in very good condition.

I would not even be surprised if some collector did not put away his "collectibles, and the next thing the father or mother saw, was their children were busy in the back yard sandbox playing with the parents' toys.

I had a good laugh with that thought, 

and I'm sure this has happened!

So thanks for dropping by, and I'd like to wish

everyone a happy holiday for whichever

holiday that you celebrate during December, as well

as a Healthy and Happy New Year to everyone.
