Well I'll be Nick!
I thought I was the only one shaking down the other kids for painted soldiers. I could buy a pack of 50 soldiers for 52 cents and make about 3 bucks off of one pack if I found the right buyer! That was a lot of money in 1968 dollars. I kept 'em, along with my gloss testors model paint in an old tackle box my old man gave me.
Thanks for that "Flash-back"
