Flea market Show rod finds

[mrtc4w]

Today was the first weekend nice enough to have outside vendors at one of the local flea markets. Of course mt wife and I were there!

One vendor had a stack of model kits, nothing really old. He did have some reissue empty kit boxes. He did have these:

Thanks,
Marty
