    Description

    I was esesentially raised at the fair; I was 11 and my dad worked nights as a machinist tasked with fixing anything that suffered a breakdown, so that it could be up and running when the fair opened the next morning. I often hung around after an all-day visit with family and/or friends and walked to the small machine shop under the Food Circus as the day's crorwd walked the opposite direction to head home. I loved having access to the fairgrounds at night--quiet, still moderately lighted and completely silent.
    I never seemed to go home after a visit empty handed with one souvenir or another.
    It's impossible to tell if this is the red car or the blue car as the bit o airbrush color used is kind of half and half. Usually, you can tell quite easily by the paint on the pin which train it is!
    I am very excited to offer a large number of items--all VERY inexpensive--from a Seattle estate. Included are Seattle World's Fair Century 21 items as well as 1909 AYP, Spokane 1974 and Vancouver 1986 exposition items.
    The estate includes plenty of world's fair collectibles but a nice selection of other material. Please check out all the items, all with very low opening bids.
    As always, I'm happy to combine orders to save you money on shipping. Please don't pay immediately but wait until all of your items have closed and then request an invoice.
    This estate sale is just the beginning of several collections we will be offering in multiple auctions—600 gold pieces, US type coins, Canada silver, Mexican gem silver rolls of Libertad onzas, 1904 St. Louis, 1901 Buffalo, Civil War, so-called dollars and much more.
    Please contact me so I can share more information with you on our several planned auctions beginning next month. Ebay does not allowo sharing information on sales not on the Ebay site, so we can't provide details on the large offsite auctions for 2023 but don't hesitate to ask questions; I'll have literally hundreds of items on Ebay, too.
