Bad timing..I just sold a Lemon Peeler 2 weeks ago that I found at a thrift store. Only paid 40 bucks for it and sold it for 250.

P82A0060.jpgHA! if it was in good shape you sold it way too cheap,i sold a stingray ''cateyes'' for the back for 200! Try to find another,i put in the ad. These bikes sell for as much or more as a restored ct70 on ebay.

It was ruff, rusty,paint bombed, black and stripped of all the good stuff. Still had the original chain guard and shifter even after it had been converted to a coaster brake and single speed rear wheel.

I have noticed over the years for looking for and dealing with Honda ct70 people have asked me about match box cars (don't call them hot wheels to the avid collector it guess its insulting) and Schwinn orange krate. I guess they all go hand-in-hand. anyway I saw one at an auction a while back and was going to buy it to try and flip but apparently everyone else knew what it was worth also. It sold for $1200.00

There were pretty few schwinns in Canada ,but our neighbor owned a hotel in Daytona beach Florida ,and he had a blue bike with the car like chrome shifter in the centre of the top tube ,small front wheel ,and the top tube of the frame went right to the rear of the banana seat .Was that a schwin or some kind of a copy cat ?it was pretty cool but was slow and he couldn't beat me and I was 5 years younger ! I remember a few other similar bikes ,but no more than two or three others and one was lime green .

003.jpgI didn't ride a Schwinn back in the day but fell in love with the Murray Western Flyer F5 five speed. We lived near a local Western Auto store back then and I will never forget the seeing that first F5 sitting in the stores window. It was love at first sight and no other bike would ever take it's place for me. That Christmas I got the best present of all, my own F5. Can't figure the miles I put on that bike over the years but I never wanted a different bike...That was 1967 and guess what? I still have and ride that same F5 today. The only things not original on the bike are the seat cover and brake pads. Hmm..Think I'll take her out today and pass a few Schwinn's.....PS, I collect the hell out of vintage Hot Wheels Redlines and not a Matchbox in the house.

I have 60 1964-69 GI Joe's(12 in box),200 extra uniform sets, 6 Foot lockers, 4 complete 1964 Moto Rev Combat Jeeps (2 in box), Space capsule, 15 Action Team Fuzz head Joe's, Mobile Command, Big Trapper, Irwin Panther Jet and sidecar motorcycle. Can't count the rifles and other equipment...Deluxe Reading Tiger Joe Tanks(4)...Been collecting vintage 1964-75 GI Joe most of my life. I have counted my 1968-73 Hot Wheels Redlines recently though. 318 of those and looking for more. You guy's think collecting CT70's can become an addiction?

No, No, No ... I Collect HO Scale slot cars I have Aurora. Lionel, Tyco. Tyco Pro, Atlas, Marx, Atlas and many other manufacturers from across the world.
Most from 60's and 70's well over 3500 HO scale slot cars!
That's an addiction.
I also have pre and Post War Lionel trains inherited from a family member all encased in boxes I recently shipped home from the Northeast that I need to catalog. these are packed in 87 boxes that are 3' X 2 1/2' boxes sitting in a storage facility that is 12 x 30 ' loaded floor to ceiling that I need to get through.

Loaded will all sorts of antiques and other collectibles besides the trains

Over 5000 different beer cans I started collecting these in 1974 also about any kind of beer advertising items. Roman coins some as old as 150 BC and artifacts most of them I dug up with a metal dectector while in the military in Spain for 5 years.

I'm into these Schatz Royal mariner clocks and such. Picked this up at a garage sale about 10yrs ago for $30.
This last Sunday i got a 1967 Air Force Flight Jacket MA-1 for a buck. I get into Vietnam era stuff, my father served in that. I also have a Mitsubishi sewing machine that's all chromed out and produced in the same plant that built the Zero's after WW II. It still works. Lot's O cool relics out there.
