 Marjorie's Millinery

Kit #390 now sells for $55.10

I'm not assambed to take $100.00 for this one.

Most every Campbell kit takes and unusual twist or turn in the construction and this is no exception with the roof.

This kit was named after Thomas Ayres who continued to work for Leo for a number of years. Thomas did the photography for the Campbell color catalogs and ad pictures in the model press.

assembled model $100.00

Did George Sellios get the idea for missing shingles that show exposed rafters in the roof? The kit instructions from the early 70's show how this is done.

 Picken's Place

Kit #395 sells for $55.10

Like all my models, if they don't sell for the price I suggest, I'll keep them. This is $90.00

I built this over thirty years ago and it's been in several scenes and now with the Abandoned house and it looks like it fits in the neighborhood.
