I am amazed at the mint condition most of his collection is. I personally have a collection of more then 3000 dolls, both antique to vintage, as well as a huge vintage toy collection inspired by Mr. Birnkrant. I view his incredible collection frequently. Thanks so much for sharing it for all to enjoy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115750861281006436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-66167712186780858312014-06-16T19:34:38.210-04:002014-06-16T19:34:38.210-04:00Dana, if you would email me at gurneyjourney@gmail...Dana, if you would email me at gurneyjourney@gmail.com, I can forward your question on to Mel.

I have lived and loved the magical world you've created, collected, and bound into the most amazing tantalizing world under your own roof, beginning in that house of our childhood on Seven Mile Rd. <br /><br />But most of all, when you added Elsie The Cow and her baby to your collection, I was over the MOOn.<br /><br />Remember those trips to the The Detroit State Fair, where Elsie cavorted??? I was simply captivated when I saw her in your living room, hanging there as big as life.<br /><br />I am reliving a lifetime with you right at my own desk.<br /><br />I am so PROUD OF YOU!! I am SO VERY HAPPY to be a part of your eternal collection.<br /><br />Your Younger cousin, JanetSuper Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464419328369980879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-2931512466108606742013-12-08T16:11:45.198-05:002013-12-08T16:11:45.198-05:00Little Nemo!
