Reply to "Antique Store Finds?"

I never found anything at a thrift store, but antiques stores, yes.  One had a box of Marx cars, and the owner allowed me to pick out just the one I wanted, at a reasonable price, too.  And, I was leaving a train show one time without any purchases, and decided to stop at an antiques store on the way home.  Picked up an Ives car I had been looking for, and at a January discount.  That seems to be a slow month for that business, and there will be discounts, at least in my area.
