Interesting tidbit is that the real Trabant was a car made from a fiberglass made out of old clothes and rags, while the model is metal. Nice little Trabant. I'd assume it's Soviet or East German (GDR) made.

correction: can't find maker on it

The Corvette pieces are neat. I have a C3 version in that same body color already! I also had a similiar baseball pin ball game, but it did not have a bell. :thumbup:

Are those Tootsietoys in the front left corner?

Yeah, it's not a common game. The price it has sold has been all over the place, but a good find for $5.

You stole that Atari game for $5. That's one of the rarest, if memory serves me right. Looks like the label is in great shape too!

As cool as that is, my favorites of this round would have to be those jackets, especially the Consolidated Freight! Shame they are all kid sizes though. I have a Winross CF multi-trailer set in my collection back home, and a CF hat that I have almost worn out. I have quite the patch collection, and my favorite patch jacket is an ex-trucker jacket. I'll have to post some pics one of these days.
