A few months ago I bought this swivel display rack. One of my favorite pieces! In need of some careful cleaning and a couple new tubes.
But what was awesome was what showed up in today's mail. It's a book from I guess the corporation to the dealers offering them all these sales tools. Signs, brochures, window displays, blotters and cards.....
And on page 16 of 22 was my swivel display.
From the mechanical side of the hobby, this is what it's all about for me!! To have this rack and then see it in this book, just put it in it's place!!
Some of the graphics and info are amazing!!
It's one in a forever that one even exists, but I would love to find me one of those window stickers!!

What was really impressive reading in the book was, that guy poring oil from the barrel is actually a cardboard window display that the dealers could get to put in their window.
Can you imagine finding one of those today??!! What an awesome piece that would be to have!!
