Growing up, there wasn't a lot of money to spend at Christmas, but every year I always got one "big" present, and these Tonkas really meant something to me, and I played with them a lot. Many years ago, I brought them from the family home to Ontario, and I cannot describe the feeling to see my son playing with these Tonkas that gave me so much joy as a kid.
Thanks Roger. Most of his collection is in storage as display space is limited. He had a built in shelf covering 3 walls in his living room in the place he rented in Newfoundland.
