Here is a reprint from a previous edition of The Collectors Newsletter:

Years ago when my daughter Linda was in nursery school, we had to print their name on any toys that we brought from home. About thirty five years later, I owned an antique and collectible shop, one day a customer brought in several boxes of items for me to sell for her. As I looked through the boxes, I saw some toys and one in particular caught my eye. I thought to myself, "That looks like a toy that Linda had when she was little." Several days later as I was pricing the items, imagine my surprise when I saw my daughter's name that I had written on her toy many years before. Needles to say it is a priceless antique and my best find ever. Thank you....Victoria
