Back to the Attic

 Hey, I went back to the attic today and scrounged around and found a few more things. Nothing of great value, but still neat stuff.

I am sure there are probably a few more hidden gems, but I am telling you, crawling around in a hot attic, lifting insulation is not high on the fun chart.
The little tin cup is made by Ohio Art.
The blue plastic coin is from 1953 "INTERPLANETARY SPACE PATROL CREDITS" 
The best item is the 1949 mini book. The boy who had nothing to do so he crawled around an attic, um, well, sort of.
Tomorrow I will post the best finds from yesterday.
Got to go shower, I'm itchy. Wonder why.

Attic Treasures

 These are the little treasures I found yesterday while crawling around in the attic of a house I'm redoing.

It's amazing that, through the years, changes in ownership, and the house becoming a rental, they were still there, as the items were somewhat visible.
Upon research, I learned:
The baseball coin is a 1959 Armour Hot Dog Frank Thomas Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Coin.
1952 TOPPS LOOK 'N SEE Admiral Byrd.
If anyone can help me identify the mini plastic fire truck, the hunched-over plastic man with a red hat and number 8 on his back, and the teeny-weeny lamp, for size comparison, it's placed next to my flip phone, I would appreciate it.
Next posting, I will show the rest of the find.
My favorite is the little lamp and chair. I think I will leave those on my patio for the ants to enjoy.
