Opamerica - Post # 2
I wrote about Opamerica a few days ago. At that point,I wanted to add more photos from the nice site,but the problem was with Blogger (Google). It turned out that I couldn't download photos above 3 MB. Blogger decided to resize any large file to a small size,and the nice composites on Opamerica's site on E-Bay were compromised! I eventually figured out that I could "cut up" the composites into small portions, then upload them to this blog. But by then, I was tiring out,and so decided to wait for another day. So today, the day, to add more of Opamerica's nice toys and photos.
Opamerica's Design on E-Bay
The toy above is called a "Sandy Andy Caterpillar Tractor"

The toy above is a Buddy "L" Scarab # 711 toy.

I like these round-type old cars. They remind me of those B & W
serial movie gangster cars form those 1930's-1940's movies.
The toy above is an Elenee brand toy "Speed Racer #20).
(New York, New York)
It has self-propulsion through a wormscrew and a spring.
I've never seen this type of wind-up or propulsion before!
It measures 12" (L") x 4 1/4" (W) or 315 mm (L) x 83 mm (w)

It's great when a seller, collector, or auctioneer has fine-quality and large-sized photos of their salable items. It makes viewing them so much better. Also having the ability to look at the detail is great. I like the way I can look at the detail of that red Buddy "L" wind-up mechanism , and compare it with the Elenee one.
This finishes my second blog for today,
and by 08:20 A.M. in the morning (EST).
Thanks for dropping by, and have a great
morning, afternoomn, or evening,
wherever you may be.
