My least favorite soda Moxy we do have we believe one of the largest collections if not the largest collection of automatic music in the world but we can’t confirm it because we can’t count everybody else’s collections these machines date to anywhere from the 1890s to the 1930s oh there we Go get a close look here the paper [Applause] This is listen listen for these Instruments triangle There oh Wow oh that’s amazing see the tambourine there the paper being fed through that’s Amazing the bjo being played There triangle one is one of my favorites in the collection it’s his a little antique store okay Peak Flames or he claimed he passed away a few years ago but he claimed that the little um bottle on the table right next to the ship is the smallest handblown

Andy there in the sailor cap and there’s some larger dolls here on the bed right so this is all another person one person’s collection that they donated to us oh that’s Co and they get to visit it whenever they want and they’re sharing that is cool so yeah

Many people who have never seen rotary phones in use do you get a lot of people here that haven’t seen rotary phones we do there was one young woman oh that makes me feel so old oh yeah yeah there was one young woman business woman you know very very attractive you could tell

She was very educated and she said oh I think my grandmother had one of these oh so you’re getting like adults like fullon adults oh it it’s painful yeah one one couple collected all these telephones so they uh donate here to share it with other people and sometimes they actually come and visit

Their old collection so very cool that uh this is almost like a collection of collections people know that they can uh donate their collections here and have them all stay together a lot of interesting phon there yeah phones used to be a lot of fun back in the back in the day let’s

Look at the AL there oh look it’s it’s like all furry yeah these were the coolest thing back in the 80s is these these phones where the character would actually hold hold the phone there’s a Cabbage Patch phone kebler elf phone a Kermit Snoopy and this was a classic a

Lot of people had the uh the Mickey Mouse phones back then there’s the the bozo boo phone I think his character’s name is Sprout he’s the I think the Big Green Giants uh little buddy yeah look at these oh the Gumby phone it’s Amazing yeah oh look at that magic magic eightball phone there and this is a phone that’s a phone oh it’s a little little 50s designer that is a phone I remember this football phone they used to like there used to be like an infom mercher where they would sell

This on like our commercial where they they’d like throw this in if you like bought a subscription to something I just love is the Crest phone here the Crest phone I don’t even remember this character but is this the mascot for Crest he probably was very shortlived

Just a man-made of toothpaste oh how does that how does that it work so you pick it up you dial on the bottom yeah I don’t know you even talking it’s a fair question at his chest right there it is yep yep that’s amazing got Char Charlie the tuna back

There and then of course your Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus Rex phone look at the fuzzy fuzzy phone there wow this is yeah this is this is pretty amazing I definitely love the uh phone collection here oh who’s this hiding in the phone booth over here here wax figure do you know who this is

The wax figure I don’t but it does come from the Dutch Wonderland wax museum out oh so this is from Dutch Wonderland that’s amazing yeah they don’t have a wax museum there anymore at uh at Dutch Wonderland that’s really cool that’s a that’s a piece of uh of theme park history right There oh listen to that sound is Amazing box from the Regina company out of row New Jersey this is a Pneumatic vacuum cleaner pneumatic vacuum cleaner the pole you push that to create the suction and then another person would use the hose that’s not attached to oh wow C things out sounds like a lot of

Work oh yeah that’s when you actually had to put effort into cleaning their house oh yeah like the little oh yeah little monkey there watch you got this little guy so these would be like a a grinder that you play out in the street like a street performer would uh would bring

Out then maybe have like their monkey come and collect money afterwards handmade where people would work the Farms during the day and work on these at Night He says this was designed as a toy for kids in the ‘ 50s and it cost more than a used car would have so it was only for the wealthiest people and then the kids would ride the ponies or whatever so the pony and the guy are extremely rare but

You’ll find the carts every now and then you would crank it just like a reg Street orgon no it’s it’s called the Maharaj M inspired by all of the different Indian palaces and whatnot the woman who made it used styrofoam and things around the house so

It’s very creative and most of it you can’t tell that it’s springy until you actually look a little this little dollhouse right here this was a home home in aabon oton being the town right next to us so this is actually the family’s home and they gave

It to us and cuz they didn’t know what to do with it anymore wanted to save it and this one has the creepy back bedroom for the baby creepy if you think clowns are creepy I should Say all right so this is a a photo player so they would have these during silent films they play the the piano during the silent films and that would actually have sound effect pedals so if they need to like make a horse clopping or things like that they would hit that

Lever on the bottom so that’s pretty amazing I had to do the live soundtrack to the movie while it played all right so yeah these are four-wheel Vespa cars that’s interesting oh there’s actually a another raggedy an driving the Vespa all right we are in the toy box

Here and we can see uh the tram tour used to be an old Tire Factory take the tram to show people all the items here in the uhy most famous for his radios he sold thousands of radios the Covenant The Arc of the Covenant oh wow yeah so it is a full fullsize

Replica and it was created by a company that had the designs through Paramount oh wow and so yeah came to us from a guy who worked with Paramount I think in finance so actually like used same specifications as the one in the movie oh yeah you don’t want to touch that

Yeah so you’ll see the model airplanes we have about 300 model airplanes on display through model airplanes pretty close to anything you can imagine these came to us from Queens New York and these are this is one of the widescreen televisions from the early ’70s that

Would have have been the Envy of the neighborhood but this one is the very first nationally distributed beta player okay that’s and it’s in great shape the guy who collected these was obsessed with old electronics and he passed away and so we inherited

It oh yeah so much so much to look at in here it’s amazing elephant on S brero so win more plush toys with our additional UFO catcher there I check out that Lon oh yeah so again so much so much to look at yes yeah you’ll see the what is this

Here is a video a video disc player before laser disc so this is pre- laser disc y oh that’s wild and the discs were so sensitive that they put them in the plastic containers because if you touched it it was done forever essentially yeah they did not last very

Long but they were you had status back in the late 7s early 80s if you had one of those oh look at these robots here yeah I love the uh cotton candy and the robot yeah look at this popcorn robot he says let me pop you some delicious fresh popcorn oh it’s

Right here a oral Redenbacher popcorn there you or R maker from the same town in Indiana looks like we dispense that there really cool this was also known as the kind of gangster car where they might stand on the side and shoot outside of the car or

Whatever but we do have a bullet hole in this one that came with the car when it was added to the collection oh wow so this one has a uh it’s a legit bullet hole in it y That’s crazy some other cars back here what’s the classic car tour is it the Ford

Model A here cars well this this part here cars you know Meander through right here look at this here this uh it’s like oh yeah this would take coins at one point so it like a animatronic organ grinder there look at his his little monkey friend and they were eventually shut down

Because they were just luxury pieces you never wanted to drive one of these on the road because they could be deadly no so this is so it’s like it’s got an it’s got an engine oh yeah but it just sits really low to the ground so this could

Be it seems like you get run over really easily you could that’s why they were mostly for recreational you can still see things like these in some of the golf courses on the Georg Coast but this is the fifth wheel where the motor is okay on this one they’re all different

There are electric ones I’ve seen these before yeah red red bugs are pretty unusual but not quite so much as the uh electric shoe got electric shoe there is that uh George Washington maybe or Thomas Jefferson there riding in the in the shoe there I think it was every

Founder’s dream to ride in an electric shoe oh yeah look at that creature back there that is a rhinoceros that used to be animatronic but animatronic rhinoceros back there that’s wild you know where that was from uh I don’t it was probably from like a Chuck e- cheesy

Place yeah I mean that’s kind of where most of those things were created for what’s Grover’s Mill Grover’s Mill is a small part of Princeton New Jersey but that’s famous for being the place where the aliens invaded in the war of the world oh okay I’ve been there I’ve been

There yeah they have a nice Monument for it okay so they have welcome to Grover grob’s Mill there with the alien and uh look at the uh that puppet there like a genie of some sort just like one of my favorite pieces of the advertisement for Big Nuts

Hardware big nuts Hardware they’re the big big nut on the side little cars here oh look who’s lurking around here we got Chuck E cheese himself you ain’t seen nothing it’s pretty cool so the the Stanley Steamer you said the car runs on water yep that’s crazy’

Be cool if my car ran on water oh yeah look little gunsmith cart there little guns giant cello here and then look at these wax figures you know where these wax figures are from they’re all from dut one okay so all the wax figures are from the Dutch Wonderland wax museum

Yeah and the only one we can say with certainty John Kennedy is the very bad Barber so John Kennedy is the barber this guy looks terrified well look at his hand he’s got the Razor at his hand he does not look like he does not want John

Kennedy going at his neck with that uh with that razor wow look at these other guys if anyone has any idea who these other figures might be leave a comment in the comment section so look at this it’s a map of the United States and these are all tags from dogs

From those different states it’s a dog license a dog permit a dog tax apparently you used to have to pay a tax on your dog or a fee for your dog this is something that I’ve never never heard of before W and then next to that we got this uh big Disneyland map

Here yeah I don’t know what era this is here okay I think it says there’s the Haunted Mansion but the date is right over here I believe 19 1962 and it opened in 55 so not too long after opening but on the bathrooms of Lake

Tahoe back when that was out back in the ’90s to show my age they were really concerned about the plague carried by squirrels oh wow avoid contact with chipmunk squirrels and other wild animals I didn’t know that squirrels and Chipmunks carried the plague in Lake to look at these guys here substantial

This this one standing here he’s probably weighs about 20 lb 30 lb really couple more wax figures over here a real Koga wagon behind the army of bears Rudy that’s a really big teddy bear there Rudy he is he’s from W makers he was the mascot for them then they sold him at

Christmas time and he was kind of the model and then they sold the miniature ones to the public so he was there to get your attention Rudy the giant bear all right now we’re going to hop on a tram I think we got the tram just for the two of us oh look

At this got Sasquatch working around right here all right we going to get on one of these trams these are cool they’re all electric charge them overnight got to keep the water in them one of my favorite things that recently happened is we have all of these uh Soap Box

Derby racers yeah and one of the people who came in actually rode the purple one when they were a kid 70 so he brought in his uniform his helmet and his Awards cuz he was an award winner so we’re going to make a big deal out of that but

Every now and then the collection touches somebody quite personally but everybody can relate to something that see yeah one day I’d love to go to an actual Soap Box distur I’ve actually seen a race in action got the uh tin Woodsman there and the uh mayor of the munchkin

City it says tour guide Finas there and uh over here see Batman having a having a picnic there on the on the bat mat there looks like he’s having a lovely time yeah there just I’m just looking in every direction there’s so much going on here at this guy

Here all right I guess we got to got to get on the tram absolutely you want a front seat yeah sure R in the front of the tram here so we’re starting to enter our world of animatronics animatronics were started back in the 1890s just like a lot of the other experiments with

Electricity just to show people what it could do cuz back then very few homes would have had it I mean it would have existed certainly but you’d have to go into the downtown to see it it was at about the same time they developed mass or mass production of plate glass

Windows as well so they’d have the department store Windows you put these guys in there and on our carousels on the left you’ll see some going not all of them are working right now but you definitely get a strong sense of it we got snow white in the seven dwar oh yeah

Look at this over here look at Snow White the seven doors it’s remarkable all right so we are about 15 minutes from King of Prussia Mall here yeah the largest mall retail whatever they their qualifications are and back in the 9s they did a massive renovation

When they did it a lot of the old signs went away and they wound up here so as a kid growing up in the area I loved Jean book books it was an independent book seller and you come here and it’s a connection that you kind of forgot about

U underneath it we have dogs playing poker very important Americana art made by a man named casis kulage and he made a series of maybe 10 different paintings dogs playing poker playing pool you name it anthropomorphic dogs everywhere he also patented the first comic foreground

Yes I knew this this yes the where you put your face through the the thing at tourist spots yes same person that’s one of my favorite facts the same person that invented the uh the the cutouts invented the dogs plag poker he was also

A banker I think a realtor he was a jack of all trades there’s so much going on oh look at that Willie Nelson over there with Clinton we got some Philadelphia tobogan company roller coaster car right here and wow some bumper cars of course Philadelphia tobogan is still in

Business today but nowadays they use seat belts and other ping and boring stuff oh yeah that’s like a solid wood cart with no restraints yeah you are definitely putting your life in your own hands it’s a cow over here being being milked oh look at Mickey there he’s the creepy

Mickey some dinosaurs back there at all these animatronics and then of course Albert Einstein we all knew that he was a smart guy we just didn’t know his head was that big and look at this robot here that’s amazing oh I love that these are pneumatics from a company

That was similar to the Chuck-E-Cheese Falls I’m sorry that just sort of jerked so we moved ahead a little bit faster than expected so yeah these guys are pneumatic we may one day get them working but we don’t have their faces so look at that there’s one of those uh a

Lot of you see this lion as a drinking fountain there oh yeah look just layers of things here it’s amazing polar Sally Corporation the bad land band okay yeah yeah yeah I’ve actually been I’ve actually been did a tour at Sally okay and uh yeah they uh

They made animatronics uh they had them the Celebration Station for a while oh that’s so that’s so cool and then these are something called typ riters typewriters again something a lot of kids need to see to understand that’s Ben Franklin hid back there behind the typewriters here’s our little zoo

Animals over here dominated by the giant hippo and the elephant elephant up there now coming up behind the Camp Snoopy sign is Calamity Jane this is Calamity Jane you’ll see she’s got a gun in her holster she’s got Bo in her boot you really don’t want to make her

Angry that’s amazing but one of our favorite pieces of technology is this this is called a Custer chair and this comes from about 1916 it is one of the first electric or gas powerered wheelchairs ever made so it sold a lot to the world were one veterans at the

Time and it could go about 30 m hour so it wasn’t just cake but if somebody was in your way oh the Bell works oh yeah yeah there so many just strange and different animatronics yeah those never seen before teaching kids about car safety okay I think I may have actually seen

This one at one of the state fairs driving around the little police car yeah they they are animatronic again or numatic sort of animal coming out of the barrel there there’s Porky Peg here are 1954 Chevy Corvette is the Hooters sign the Hooters sign and of course Hooters was developed by six guys

Who just wanted to get drunk and not get arrested basically so they named it Hooters because of their love of owls they loved owls they didn’t really I don’t that’s just opinion oh look at this little ride vehicle there there yeah that might have been like a dark ride vehicle of some

Sort so next to the giant Ronald McDonald we have a Kobe conference bike it is seven seats what one driver what’s happening the other six people would just sit around it and oh okay so one person’s driving the bike and the other people are just sitting there talking to

The driver talking to each other talking to each other it’s a conference it seems like it’ be really distracting for the driver I would well hopefully the driver’s focusing on the road but so here of course is our very important mermaid I don’t think she’s aial though at that

Mermaid we’re going to gun it here well it might happen hopefully not so one of my personal favorite things here is the flag of Nebraska on your right the back in 2001 or so the vexillology Society rated all of the flags in the United States for Quality

Things like that and they rated Nebraska one of the very ugliest in the country so Nebraska is the this was prob the ugliest flag yep but what makes this one even better is it actually has a typo on it and I’m trying to inch us forward and it’s just not cooperating

Right now there we go sorry about the jerking so so yeah it says equality before the low oh it’s supposed to say the law yep oh that is that yeah that’s kind of lousy you kind of want to spell everything right on your state flag yeah

And if you’ve ever been to Nebraska I think they depicted all three mountains or big Hills that are oh yeah wait a minute and uh we are about 15 minutes from the town of Collegeville Pennsylvania uh back in the 30s the Collegeville Costume Company emerged out of the Collegeville Flag Company and so

College Vault costumes made all of these masks oh the famous amazingly cheap quality masks that kids would use if they yeah remember these didn’t have a lot of money and you’ll see some more of them of course we have the Three Stooges here well four of The Three Stooges

About 10 people have been stoies over the Years yeah masks here and this is a theater backdrop out of Lancaster the main theater there but coming up on the right is Melia outfits used by the Philadelphia Mummers during their famous parades on New Year’s Day the Mummers there’s a museum I’ve not been to the Mummers

Museum so kind of like a a Pennsylvania Marty gr essentially would that be accurate they use new year as an excuse to dress up this way and drink a lot of whatever they want to drink there’s a Carousel and we’re coming up on our band organ collection now you saw

Nickelodeons on the other side those would have been put in hotels band organs would have been put at carousels or just an amusement park so they’re designed to be big and loud and colorful and worlitzer is easily the most famous of the producers of them but you’ll see North T Wanda musical Works

Things like that here and I will put on one coming up you’ll also notice we have our sea serpent guarding the miniature circuses cuz everybody needs a sea serpent go firing up the uh Carousel organs Here That Dinosaur so one of the we have Treasures here that we occasionally discover after years of having them on your right we have this toy box and it’s always been here but nobody ever took the initiative to actually see what it did until recently and it was a very surprise for us oh hey

There well hello thanks for turning the crank I’m Mr KB and I’d like to sing my KB song for you from KB Toys special place where we all can go full of happy faces all a glow where the children laugh as they run and play it’s another K day

K toys K toys toys for all the girls boys have most of our animatronics oh wow and the big clown head up ahead is amazing oh yeah we’ve had people here who are genuinely terrified of clowns oh look at that we try not to warn out the

Door this is a little baby goat wow get up with the bed and pillow fights and oh look at the raccoons or some it’s like no oh like Noah’s Arc there with the animals M yeah it’s like a monkey a tiger and a oh my gosh so much going on look at these

Little what are these like they were like space Bears I love the space Bears got Sesame Street characters here oh more organs oh my gosh and yes you are looking on the right at the largest Slinky in the world that’s the largest Slinky in the world it has not been verified by Guinness

However on your left this Popsicle stick sculpture was verified in 2009 as the largest popsicle stick sculpture on the planet was made by one guy from Connecticut just look at all this going on right here yeah coming up is one of the creepier things I you’ll ever see on my

Humble opinion the little babies look at the little babies the two in the baskets are selling sweee heart soap and I don’t know what the little guy in the middle is doing there oh my gosh this is like some sort of alternate reality uh Small World ride Here Get everything Happening Here the wizard there looks it’s little levitating somewhere yeah we’re coming up on the oldest animatronics in the collection we believe the sword swallower dates also to the about the 1890s 1900 1890s there the sword swallower years old we’ve got insta bands up here and we

Do actually have some Disney’s connections oh yeah so straight ahead you’re going to see some massive band organs yeah the one on the right the yellowish one was for many years in the 30s and 40s located in a park in Griffith Park at a merry around oh yeah

It’s called a warer model 165 and uh a few hundred of them were made but only 11 survive today yeah and this is one of the 11 we actually have three of them here so I’ll show you the other two in a few minutes but this park is where Walt

Disney used to take his daers yeah and that’s where he would sit and watch them and he said to himself you know I shouldn’t be sitting on this bench I should be up there on the carousel playing with them and that helped give him the idea to create the Disney park

So that that that that is the band that is the band organ that Walt Disney would have been listening to while coming up with the idea for Disneyland that is pretty Amazing Tweedle Dome there Oh look at all these Clowns now this blue machine this is a dance hall organ out of Belgium it’s a mortier and it’s named the emperor the emperor came to Indiana around the turn of the 20th century for a beer garden uh parts of it were reduced in size it’s about a half the size that it originally

Was the family owned it for a number of years they sold to a man out of St Louis named Paul aens Paul had it at his gay90s village for many years and then he sold it to Walt Disney World so this was probably somewhere near Main Street

When Walt Disney World opened as was another one wow so this is from this is from was that Disney World that’s CRA Disney World ultimately decided they didn’t want to deal with it anymore for reasons I don’t fully understand because it’s a beautiful it is um so they sold

It to auction Mammoth and the mammoth is a um bandor it’s a military band orgon and you’ll see that this has a very large pipe section and it is a loud machine so going to be Loud so what you’re looking at on your left this Village yeah this comes from Philadelphia in the 1970s the litz brothers department store was a Main go-to Place on Market and this was what they had on their top floor for a Christmas celebration they had about 17 buildings then nine of them have

Survived and are here with us today so um they went through a number of different homes before coming here look that Elephant we also have miniature Christmas displays that would have been in the department stores famously the first ones that are coming up were from the Macy’s in New York in yeah New York City which is why we have the Philadelphia backdrop behind it obviously one of my favorite features in the toy room or the Factory is the dresser has eyes oh yeah I see the dresser peeking at us oh yeah they move they move there they Go look at the little girl up there in the window just so many of these little Christmas animatronics oh look in the window there it’s cutting the Christmas Turkey wow the famous wig shop on your left the wig Shop so all kinds of Santas and Christmas related stuff here all year round so if you need your dose of Christmas in January or February can’t quite get over it here you come any time of year and same with Easter always have Easter And the cross from Easter who better than the Simpsons there little dancing guy right there it’s the giant Snow White the Seven Dwarves there and of course we have a puppet show hosted by puppet show There so one of Theo Pirates things that our collector commissioned from a Lancaster based artist named Joan Fay were the miniaturized uh samples of Sideshow art so the different acts that would have performed at a circus Sideshow or freak Show were advertised on these kinds of canvas paintings on your right so these

Are very they’re just much smaller because the originals would have been 5 ft tall or something crazy like that we have games slot machines and of course a giant George Washington head on the right oh yeah there’s the George Washington Head and I don’t think uh you’ll disagree but any place that’s worth its waiting gold has nutcrackers oh yeah look all those at all those nutcrackers there yeah the interesting thing about nutcrackers when you do research is you find out that they were actually originally created to

Crack nuts but that became P so now the only reason you have them is to look at them they enjoy no that’s the whole thing with me I I I get so mad when you go in the store and they don’t even their mouths don’t even work yeah it’s like what’s

The point but nowadays you can get your nuts preck pre cracked so you don’t need them anymore and here comes the other tra so we’ll just wait for them to go we got the other trammer There yeah they got a full Tra yeah one of the big challenges is remembering to look up and over when you’re going on this cuz there’s so much to see to the right oh yeah just things hanging in the rafters we probably missed a thousand things while traveling through here just like in our music room

We have Miniatures here I’m your right the first display shows a miniature circus from the early days when the circus came to town on the train the world’s largest Gumby because the world’s largest Gumby where’s he oh yeah yeah I see him back there he’s coming up

All four of these trucks are over 100 years old the one at the end the really blocky looking thing that is a Nash quad and they were produced for the World War I fight first car to have or first truck to have four-wheel steering four wheeel brakes four-wheel drive and of course

Yeah we can’t Overlook Britney and her backup so it’s Britney Trump and Ted Kennedy Ted Kennedy that’s what I thought of course it was Ted Kennedy oh it says Britney right there yeah well no that came later okay but yeah they were H part of New Orleans floats okay New Orleans

Floats yeah and at first you know the order was a little different but we figured Britney’s probably the least political of the three oh yeah look what we got coming up here we got the exactly that was why I wanted chuckecheese full Chuck-E-Cheese band

Here I got to turn it on for you and then we’ll let the air collect and then I’ll play them for you oh they work oh yeah we actually they didn’t work but we got a 16-year-old who remembered coming here when he was much younger uh Ryan

And Ryan’s great he uh asked if he could come in and work on our Chuckies we couldn’t say no oh there they go look at this okay all you rockers Chucky’s van stand is back for some of your favorite video hits don’t mind them folks they’re just not with I am on

Guys I’m good I’m good look at my clean right clean you guys see my last math pass I’m good I am Good I’m to come on you guys don’t break down now we got to do the big finale I mean we’re going to rock oh they broke down and here is that uh world’s largest Gumby they were telling me that uh that this the world’s largest Gumby in the

World’s largest uh Slinky we saw earlier were for an exhibit at the uh Virginia Museum of History they did an exhibit on toys and uh see here who’s that uh who’s that shooting pool there is that uh I don’t know is that yeah I think that’s Mark Twain Mark Twain there shooting some

Pool the food stand here some more of these uh got a little wax band a pile of heads there so three organs play together wow that’s loud There’s King Candy from the game Candyland and apparently this giant teddy bear is an animatronic as well but he’s not not currently operational there are some very local signs and we got Ticket Master but Oak’s Garden was right across the street from us before Wawa came in so you never know

Where they come from of course we have a Denny kitfox airplane on the right and that is a real airplane is a privately made so if you trust yourself well enough you could could conceivably make your own Denny kit box that Pet Boys there post cigar unfortunately 1954 Cadillac Sedan

DeVille back in the days when you were lucky if your car got about 8 mil to the Gallon Was wiener man back there I just noticed I’ve never seen this mascot before wiener man he’s with the Oscar Meyer weer mobiles I don’t know if he was a Oscar Meer mascot at uh at one point Precious Moments collection should been to the precious moments cathedral

In Missouri oh I’ve been there it’s a strange place it’s very unique a couple of wax heads there as well Thomas Edison Abraham Lincoln Elanor Roosevelt and Douglas fairback not who sh Who Douglas silent film actor oh silent film actor okay pit Fair pfir him and Mary

Pford now that is not the real Statue of Liberty on the right really yeah just thought you should know but we’ve got some mate tags that I’m sure never needed help to keep more I think one of the more important pieces is the scale collection in the back

There you don’t get to see that many varieties of scales in one spot too often and this little fire truck it is electric same company that made our TR that we’re on this was used when this was a BF Goodrich Factory so they would drive that around in case there were

Problems cuz rubber can be fairly uh Flamable they were coming toward the entrance we’ve got a 1948 Hudson Commodore on the right Hudson stands out as the first automotive company to hire a woman into any positions of authority and um Molly oh my gosh I just blanked on her name but she uh created the Interiors

For the cars right next to her we have a 1908 Sears robok car you would have purchased this through the catalog and uh so basic you can see the chain action there the side and this is a Ford late 40s but at the end at the end we have our two

Crosley again the Crosley company did not do great with cars because they were making them fuel efficient and economical at a time when people just didn’t care about that whose giant head is that you know I have not been able to who he is my expectation is he’s from

Like a fun a family fun center but I he is not familiar to me and I wish I could tell you exactly who he is but one of the uh things we used to have people come off the tram and complain about if complains the right word was that they

Had never seen howdy Duty on the tour yeah and we did of course have howdy we put them right here though so that they couldn’t say it anymore so and he’s still in his original packaging yeah Peter pan and uh Captain Hook there so we wind to the end of the

Tour 25th hour fun house yeah there was a place up in wils bear called buzzies buzzies and they’re closed now and we have a lot of their advertisements and posters and things like that so if you’re in doubt it in all likelihood came from buzzies cuz they just had

Clowns Galore one might argue too many clowns you never have too many clowns right you never really have too many clowns all right and of course we try to keep Al front and center because oh there’s Al easily the most important alien life form that uh we’ve ever had on our

Planet so we’ve hopped off the tram I think we’re going to take a closer look at some of the things there’s just so much going on just couldn’t see it all just by uh flying by in a trm yeah just look at these all these like interesting animatronics here this big

Old carnivals going around and The Collector just loves to buy old carnivals and keep what he wants and sells the rest yeah this is a pretty unique Carousel I don’t think I’ve seen one quite like this look at this little mini Carousel here just got the two horse that would rotate a couple

Smaller carousels in here oh yeah look at that look at this I guess this is a gorilla here look at that just sitting there there’s the goats in the bed oh he’s smacking smacking his sister there oh no whacking a sister sister and Then oh there there’s the mother goat checking in it’s like all these little animatronics like just like hidden in every dued crti see they’re working the uh the paint roller I love this one here I think it’s like Noah’s Arc with the animals sticking their heads out yeah just a giant glowing clown

That many animatronics in one place the uh the tram ride is almost like almost like a dark ride like a tour of a dark ride and I’m so grateful that I got the T the chance to to uh check out some of the animatronics on foot as well I would
