Just had to share this AC GILBERT JAMES BOND ROAD RACE from 1965; featured at Auction #55, Serioustoyz.com, it went for a pretty penny--click on the photo. 

And stay tuned for sneak peek photos from this year's upcoming 2014 auction. In the meantime, fans of The Addams Family might enjoy http://www.everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-really-special-thing-coming-to-2014.html 

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, boxes of “Conversation Sweetheart” candies are making their appearance en masse in the stores. We loved these as children—not so much for eating—but for the colors and the messages. For anyone who has ever wondered about how these came about, a history of Sweetheart Candies! http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/The-History-of-Sweetheart-Candies.html

As many of you know, RADKO was making repros of these for a while—but you so seldom see the originals in such great shape http://www.flickr.com/photos/39216280@N07/4447516713/in/set-72157622562091716/
