@karl not sure about selling, the board hasn’t been officially established so what they do with the donated trains, books, and other items like the matchbox is still being tossed around. I think there is value in displaying them with the box. We do have some vintage trains, advertising, and toys such as erector sets in the original boxes so a display case would be pretty cool.
use the images as you wish. Once we get going after the holiday display is take down, we are trying to get ready to open to the public in March or April. I’ll get some more pictures of anything that may be of interest to you and the forum. 👍😎

Also included in another donation were these two items. Not sure if small tootsie toys are a big collectible. Any info on either would be great.

All those look great and are real vintage finds ! We are delighted to see them now and one can imagine what the original owner happily felt like when they were obtained so many years ago.
