Oh, and of course my Red Rider BB blaster. Can' forget that one.
I think that I had one of those too. But if I am recalling correctly, the second level action that I got could shoot pellets as well; it was a graduation from the Red Rider :). Others wanted a pump air gun. I wanted a lever action one. Mom wanted none of them . But, dad did not mind. Granted, it could shoot only one pellets at a time. So, I shot mostly BBs. I wondered what happened to it. I think mom did some Spring cleaning, and it found its way out the house.

Railway Express Agency. They were the UPS/FedEx of the day. The wagons moved freight from the trains and the back of semi-trailers into the freight sorting warehouse that was typically located along the railroad tracks near the train depots. For a couple summers after high school I unloaded, sorted freight and drove one of their delivery vans.

Really like those pictures around the wagon Randy those are great
Not sure what REA is.
But the wagon/cart came from a railroad depot.
They were used to transport baggage and goods from the train into the depot,
and back and forth.
Have had it for a number of years,
around Thanksgiving and Halloween we drag up to the front yard
Then put all the hay, pumpkins, gourds, and what have ya's.
