The is one if the unsung hero series I bought 20 years ago? It seems there were two series I found USMC items. They were about eleven years past release when I found them on eBay. I purchased a couple of jeeps, four tanks and two deuce and a half’s. They are all marked USMC. Cool stuff.

Anyone recall the marketing jargon, "Hi neighbor, have a Gansett"...?
Not only remember it, but translated it into Latin - "Salve finitamae, habe Narragantum" !

Richie, many spoke latin after a Gansett or two in the old days...

On the prowl for lower cost 60’s-80’s semi trucks for my 70’s-80’s layout - found this ERTL tractor & trailer for $6 at an antique shop. Nice square cab like they were back then. 1:48 scale 8’ wide and 12’ tall cab
Bonus got the ERTL 1960 Chevy cab $8 and JD 630 for $4. Very happy with my finds.
