The Beech Model 17 Staggerwing scale model is made from the highest quality of mahogany. Each part is painstakingly hand-carved by master craftsmen and undergoes priming and sanding several times until it is perfect. Talented artists meticulously paint each and every detail, no matter how big or small. The result is a replica that is a faithful reproduction of the original aircraft. A coat of clear lacquer not only provides the finishing touch, but also ensures that details are properly protected. Each wood model goes through various stages of quality control before reaching our customers and comes with a beautiful mahogany-based chrome stand. Price 149.95 USD

Our family doctor was an officer in WWII attached to the small arms plant in St. Louis where he worked with Winchester across the river in Alton on the development of a 60 caliber machine gun using a 50 cal Browning as a start. He told me the design failed because of breech failures. For his efforts, Winchester gave him this nice display box of ammo as well as some presentation 60 cal. rounds. He gave me the display box after administering a small-pox inoculation to me.

The cartridges are held my black elasticized thread that I had to replace some years ago as it had deteriorated. The numbers under the cartridges are keyed to a chart on the underside of the lid that list each by military designation with load.

A very nice piece with fond memories of a family doctor and friend of my father who made house-calls on Saturday in his Olds 98 to treat my dad and grandmother. He had coffee and cake after his work was done. It seemed to me he wore a suit every day of his life with starched white shirt, french cuffs and a Countess Mara tie.

Hi,

This is a lovely WWII medal, what is fascinating about it is that it was issued to a non-US soldier! Chinese Major Liu Shan Hun was awarded this medal on March 1945 for fighting the Japanese on the Burma Road.
After 1949, the holder tried to disguise the medal as a Chinese Star, thus it's current condition. See scans.

Neil.
