Congratulations. It is cool that the Skyscraper had the correct vendor on it. You don't see that vendor very often.

WOW!

All I find in my back yard is dog poop.

What's your secret? Do you advertise in local papers/Craig's list/etc.?
Spend a lot of time knocking on doors/leaving cards with shops?

I suspect that a find like this is more than just plain luck.

These WERE in MY back yard! If they were in Boston, they were mighty close to me. Congrats on securing them, a great find indeed. The side vendor on the Mills Skyscraper is quite a rarity!! That was designed and used strictly for that machine only, originally. Best regards, Pete.
