While attending my family reunion at Lake Carlos in Minnesota every summer, it has become a tradition of mine to make a visit to the Now & Then Antique mall in nearby Alexandria. Last June, as I usually do, I found some nice items.
The Matchbox John Deere Tractor was first released in 1964 and was produced until 1969 in two variations; with black plastic wheels or with gray plastic wheels. I found both of these very clean variations at the Now & Then Antique Mall.
