I read about a place in local history that was basically a de facto park for kids, back when the city didn't have it in their budget to build a proper playground, and went to check it out. The only open ground was a tiny lot surrounded by modern houses, but the old ground that remained yielded much more than I expected. Normally toys don't excite me much, but the deep sea diver and plane were pretty awesome and 3 silvers sprinkled about were the cherry on top. HH and thanks for looking!

You did great EP! Wow, you are tearing it up, especially for Seattle. Multi-silver days can be hard to come by around here. Well done.

You have some great WW2 era toys, congratulations. The deep sea diver with the "65" was made by Manoil, in the USA, and is circa 1935-1942. Your German plane is what is left of a Messerschmidt BF 109 fighter. Any markings under the wings? Cheers, Sub 8-)

To me the metal toys are the icing. You will always dig another silver coin...you will most probably NOT dig that airplane again...ever. Wanna bet ?
