...My set was purchased in a little "mom and pop" hobby store (remember those) in Warminster, Pa (a suburb of Philadelphia) in about 2010-2011.  The store is gone now, lost to being torn down and replaced with a CVS!!

I knew a gentleman by the name of Bill Kelly who lived on Nemoral Street in  Warminster.  As a teenager he worked  for Bill Hurst the speed equipment manufacturer but spent the rest of his career as a machinist at the Budd Railcar Company Red Lion Plant.  He helped develop the tooling they used to pleat the long sheets of stainless on the sides of passenger cars. He's gone now but he was a neat guy. I ended up with his old '32 Ford hot rod coupe, seen here parked in the back of Lev's Drug store , Summerdale Ave, PA in the late 40's. .. but that's a story for another time and place.
