This week is all about filling in and catching up. Honestly the toy of the week almost fell off my radar-- but fear not! I am committed to this experiment in cataloging my absurdly large toy collection and I am here with another toy. But first I must get a little business out of the way. Last week I launched a new exhibition at Coyote Point Museum. The new exhibition, Tinkering, highlights the importance and beauty of mechanics, invention, and creative problem solving. I will add another post with a few pictures of the exhibition but for now you can take a look at this article in The Mercury News about Tinkering or you can visit the CPM website for more information.Last week I also visited Minnesota. Of course the Cabinet of Curious Frivolities was founded there and many wonderful pieces are still there waiting to be brought to California. I undertook a major sorting effort to weed out the riff raff. In fact I have so many toys that I need to do a serious purging and this weekend I will be attempting to sell some 200 action figures, in original packages, that used to live in my parents attic!
By getting rid of all these toys it only allows me to increase my bandwidth to care for, and display, the real treasures of my collection which is what this blog is all about. This blog is also about being thorough and accurate and in the interest of that I am taking today to fill out the vintage Stomper 4x4 collection in the vehicles gallery. Because I have always been a fan of crawler based vehicles, and because the crawler Stomper vehicles tend to be more rare I am offering up two vintage Stomper construction vehicles from the mid 80's. So take a look at these Stomper Construction Vehicles and educate yourself about the history of Stompers.
Full steam ahead...
