Reply to "Tail End Tuesday"

Well hello everyone, its T.E.T. again and tonight in Central Texas after 2 days of sun and balmy temperatures its cold and raining like mad...which is OK as our reservoir lake is down 17 feet from normal and they are talking about severe water restrictions, so maybe this will help.

Today I have a favorite of mine.  You know that Marx, like most manufacturers favored Sear's Robuck and Co, a huge customer, by providing them with trains that not only were different from the consumer catalog but in the case of Sears...came in a special livery carrying the Sears label..."Allstate".

So here is the #2225 Allstate Bay Window caboose from 1958.  It was also offered in 1959 but the color was blue.

Happy Tuesday everyone

Geeez Don.......one of these days you are going to have to share all of your inventory with photos with us.

Every time I see one of your unique pieces I have to wonder how you have amssed such a large collection.
