It made the journey safe & sound and I put in on an end table on the front porch. So with my latest UHaul trip from New York to Texas to retreive more of my belongings and get them to Texas, I dug out the register and Paul Strubeck was nice enough to risk a hernia and load it for me on the tail of the UHaul.
Mom passed in 2017, and now we are clearing out the house, and I said no way I'm leaving it. Mom retired and moved in in 2007, and the register got shoved (with the Singer sewing machine) into the back of a unused staircase turned into a closet and covered with clutter.ĭad passed in 2009, and mom took over the house and the register stayed in the closet. I would come over, brush it off every so often and advance the date but after a while. About 2001, he kind of let go and the machine got all dusty. It was a an annual ritual!ĭad moved upstate in 1998 and the register came with him. Every New Year, he and mom would throw a party for friends and family and at midnight, dad would have myself or my sister advance the display to the next year: $19.80. Joe sets, doll houses, toy stoves, toy refrigerators, Chinese Yo-Yos, plastic model kits, Testor's paints, balsa wood, brass stock, HO scale track, you name it.ĭad would keep his machine on an old treadle powered Singer sewing machine in the living room.

This took place late 1970's or so, and I have no childhood recollection of the basement ever being free from boxes of toys and what not! Chemistry sets, geology sets, Lone Ranger sets, G.I. I guess Bill decided to retire one day so dad purchased the store stock to sell at flea markets.
It was acquired with his purchase of the stock and contents of Waldell's Hobbies formerly located at 1402 Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn, NY.ĭad used to purchase some of his scale model train supplies from Bill Waldell.
