    Were these the last of Mike Russell's collection? He had several hundred of them a few years ago and then started selling them off......

    I don't know who the guy was that Bill got them from, but he had been trying to get them for over 20 years. They will be displayed in the Speedway Museum one day.

    I think Bill mentioned that at one time they were on e-bay, but the seller wanted too much for them I guess...well Speedy Bill has them now!

    They came from a friend of mine who lives in Eugene Ore. I always wanted to see his collection, but never made it & found out two weeks ago, it went east & now I see them. By all means take more pictures, as that's the only way I can see each one now.

    I didn't have enough time or camera room to take anymore pictures. I guess you will have to make a trip to Speedy Bills someday when they are on permanent display:)

    I don't know the history on these. We just happened to pay Speedy Bill a visit on the way to the swap meet in Lincoln this past weekend.
