![]() I love making finds like this. I have a box that contained a Christmas gift I got back in 1980 when I was working for a small commuter airline. It had the usual Hickory Farms assortment, which I remember very little about, but I remember that the box was unusually sturdy and I took mine and a couple of discarded ones home. Not long after we got married I bought and tried to build an Estes Little Joe in what could have been my first BAR moment, but we had just bought a house and that was going to be my project for a few years. The Little Joe went from the dining room table to the top of the china cabinet, then disappeared. I didn't think much about it until 2001 when I got back into the hobby mostly for good. Several years later it turned up in one of my Hickory Farms box, and someday I'll put it together.

Hey Bill, I misplaced a timing light in the early 70s and have given up on what I must have done with it. Could you please check in your stored boxes? Thanks, and no real hurry ... After 40-some years, a few more is fine.

No, the original batch was post-war, so I ate it as a college graduation celebration. Best part was the "pear wine". All it needed was a ghetto alley and a paper bag. Guessing it wasn't actually Hickory Farms, but an off brand.

![]() Hickory Farms, I love it! I used to enjoy all that stuff with fruit cake.
