Here's a little rare treat - a yellow Marx ( or AC Gilbert ) "Bayola" C&O caboose, as I call them. Has the Marx trucks, but was listed at auction as an AC Gilbert. No markings on the bottom. The brown/red one in the background is the one I originally got a few years ago. This yellow one is in very nice shape compared to it's sad-sack brother back there.
I paid $5 for this one, plus shipping. Hard to find, and seen them go for high prices, especially the rare blue one, one recently sold for over $20 at auction.

Here is my COTW:
It is a brass New Haven snow flanger. I bid it last night, while I was sleeping. I set my snipeer bid so low, I did not expect to get it, but WOO HOO! I awoke to find out that I did. This makes two now... I am just pathetic, yes, I know.

Thank You CVT... I now have 10 of the Sea Land and 9 of the silver Santa Fe. But I won an auction yesterday with my 10th Silver SF with two flat cars... Ebay #190593352261
When I reach 10 of any piggyback it"s my final purchase for that one.
