Neither did I ! It cost me $10 I think, but I told the old guy I’ve never even seen this can before, so I had to have it! The Auto Bingo had never even been opened. Pieces still in the plastic bags. Everything pictured cost me $47. So not too bad. The antique stores and what not I would have spent more than double that. Garage sales are the best! I grew up in Maywood, on the west side of Chicago, that’s why I snagged the trunk emblem. The die cast “Men working” was like $3, and I do public works and streets now for a living, so figured I’d put it in my office.
That's awesome, I'll be on the lookout for one of those. I like the can opener too, I have a whole collection of those on a rack in my garage.
The contents of the box are serial numbered for traceability and that round stamp ID’d the individual inspector that checked them. Neat package to have. My FIL worked in a plant that produced gears for helicopters, here’s the stamp he used at work.
