Gang, There's an honest to gosh Original, Old Fashioned 5 & 10 Cent Store in Quakertown, Pa that time forgot...

It's called "SINE'S 5 & 10" in the center of town & still has the Old 1940's Era Lunch Counter inside that's right out of the film
"The Best Years Of Our Lives". The Lunch Counter is open Mon-Sat & You can grab a hot dog & cherry coke on the way to Your next parole hearing. It's like a big 5 & 10 Museum inside with lots of display cases CRAMMED with old artifacts & displays. There's also tons of old photos that trace it's history through the WW2 era. There's some neat WW2 AAF Uniforms hanging up too....

Check Out the Front Window filled with Warbird Models!!

It's well worth the trip if You're in the area.... Better hurry though... Digger

So cool...

Wow. . . I thought our extensive model display at VFM was impressive. . . Sine's display is truly fantastic!



Cheers!

There's about 100 + more Warbird Models hanging up inside the store...

Here's some photos I shot with My Top Secret 007 Camera:

I looked in back near the stock room & the Mysterious Model Builder has His Own area to make Model Airplanes all day. Ha! Ha! Oh to be the Son of Parents who Own a Vintage 5 & 10/Hobby Shop, eh?? My Parents Owned a Funeral Home. It wasn't as fun...
Dead People aren't as much fun to play with, but hey, at least they don't yell at You!! ... Digger

Looks like an awsome place. I often see signs for Quakertown when I am in PA. I'll have to look it up. Cool!
