Larry and Elaine (I think) may have retired from the toy business by now. Last time I saw them was at the National probably 10 years ago.

Thanks for the reply.

For ten years or so I've left an order blank laying around for the National show tractor. Somehow one shows up under the Christmas tree.

I didn't do that this year, but wish I had. On the other hand, I'm at an age where I don't need more 'stuff' in the house for someone else to get rid of someday (not soon, I hope).
 
Been to Dyersville and the museum - Even had a couple of repaiants done there.

Haven't been to the BIG show - Yet!

We lived in Cedar Rapids from early 1961 to mid 1977 and I never went to Dyersville except passing through on our way up to Guttenberg to go ice fishing.

Moved to Florida and discovered farm toy collecting some years later. It's a long trip up there for a dang toy show, but worth it.

A buddy and I always stayed in PeoRia to visit his sister the second night out on that trip.

Hey Kruser,
Looks like you got a couple of nice ones, especially that 4WD White. Do you have a pic of it out of the box?
 
Oh the show was this week end. I thought I might try to get over to that show.

In your other post it said next week end so I thought you meant the 7th. Oh well I had to much going on this weekend with Thanksgiving and all.

Maybe next year I'll meet some of you Illiniuns.

Or if you come over for the National show give a shout.

Hey,I'm still waiting for the Olivers that you were going to send me for Christmas last year! lol
 
Gary,
The Peoria Farm Show is this week (Dec 3,4 and 5) if you don't have anything to do.
Suposed to be about 35 tables of "toys" and usually have some "old" tractors on display.

Let me know if you cross the Mississippi and might be able to meet.
