ghost Posted September 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2016 So, I believe I got my inheritance a little early. I wasn't really expecting this most generous gift as my father has been selling off the military vehicle portion of his collection for the past few years and I expected this to be next. It had out grown his house several years ago so he moved it to my brothers who owns an old armory in central Minnesota. I talked to my brother in August and he was needing space and told me to come and get this stuff or he will sell it. Here are some pictures of the day we were loading for the return trip to Florida. I apologize for the picture quality I was using the camera on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hudson Posted September 15, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 15, 2016 Time to invite the neighbors over for a barn-raising so you'll have a place to store all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted September 15, 2016 all together there were 15 foot lockers and 26 totes and I didn't count the uniforms or the loose nic nacks and I still have to go back to get the WWI stuff because it wouldn't fit in the trailer. Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted September 15, 2016 Share #12 Posted September 15, 2016 Instant Major Collection! Yes, it will take a long time to sort it out, but that is the fun of it! Most of us have to go "shopping" to find new stuff, you just have to open a tote! BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchcollector Posted September 15, 2016 Share #19 Posted September 15, 2016 Here's an idea..Before you sort through it all,pour everything out of the totes,make a big pile on the floor and roll around in it while shouting,"WAHOoooo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
