[Milsurplus] FS: RAT-1 rcvrs @ War Assets Admimistration

[Pete Lancashire]

When a young teen I use to read all the surplus ads. My guess most
everyone here did.

Never considered the inflation multiplier until later :-)

I think in some ways the goodies I would get in the late 60's and
early 70's were
cheaper. But then I could go to the big scrap yards around Philly and Wilmington
and the cool neighbor who would take us on trips to Mechanicsburg !!

Those were the days to the horror of my parents.
