As you know, I've been searching through my past posts to see

whom I had written about, when Dirk Soulis Auctions came up.

So that's how this post came to be.

I wanted to find something "exceptional" or rare, 

and came across this "real" antique, which

is dated to have been made around 1907, 113 years ago!

I was going to title this post

"Honey, I'm going out to get a Schlitz", but

I decided that this title would be a bit un-classy, for

a real class company such as Dirk Soulis Auctions,

But if those words were true,  I can just imagine how this person's wife would have felt, 

when this buyer came home with this refrigerator train car!

 Exceptional

rarity sold for at auction on June 9, 2012.

The estimated price before the auction started was between

$ 20.00 - $ 2000.00 US.

Now if I had saved my 1950's Lionel train set, 

my microscope set, my toy brass trumpet,  my toy tool box,

my comic books, my Classic brand of comic books, and my toy six shooter!

I can dream can't I?

Thanks for dropping by,

and as always,

have a great part of the day 

or night, wherever you may be.
