Tom's sister had been going thru some things of their mother's (she passed away several years ago) and brought him a number of things from his childhood. Just look what collector's items we have now! I told him it means you're old when your toys are 'vintage' and collectible. ha, ha.
These are both metal banks. You place a coin on the rocket and it sends it into the opening.The silver rocketship has a similiar action. Aren't they neat?
Here's his Boy Scout handbook and school dictionary. How funny is it that I remember the same dictionary even tho' I grew up in Kentucky and he was in Tennessee.

The other item which is kinda hard to see is a wooden pencil holder with a cowboy carving on the front. Tom was a hugh Roy Rogers fan and we have a photo of him with his cowboy hat and guns just like in the movies. So cute!
Well, that's all for today. We'll talk more later. Luv, Nerm

Hey Nerm....fun to look and see how you are doing! Seems like you are an old friend to me know and I have only know you for a couple months....weird huh?
Anyways I love old books. The oldest one I have is from the 1700's!
