FOR SALE: I am Johnnie Walker and I live in Terry, Mississippi which is just south of Jackson. In my earlier days, my family and I had a mini railroad museum near our home to entertain people that did not have a family and lived in personal care homes. Most of my family is gone and I still have a few items that I have to sell. I have four trains that were put out by the Jim Beam company. Three of the trains are porcelain and each car will hold a fifth and the small train, also porcelain, will hold a pint. Of course the cars are empty but they are beautiful. I also have several old whiskey bottles that I have had for years. I am writing to see if the FOHBC ever comes to Mississippi, and if so, when, as I would like to get rid of these. I am 85 and it is time for me to reduce. If you have any suggestions for me I would greatly appreciate your help. You can call me at home 601.878.5904 cell 601.573.8164 or my address 2190 green Gable Rd. Terry, Mississippi 39170. Thank you very much. Sincerely Johnnie Walker (o3-17-23)

WANTED: Hello Levi Strauss and Western collectors! Years ago, a well-known California dealer discovered a major California gold rush archive from the Hardy-Kennedy store in Forest Hill, California. In it were a number of Levi Strauss billheads from the 1850s. We are looking for collectors who may have bought one or more and are soliciting copies of these billheads for an important paper I am working on. The information contained on these may be integral to the substance of my proposed paper and may enhance the value of your billhead! I am looking forward to some discoveries. Thanks in advance.
