I
Leo The Lion plus many other names achiev
ed during his school teaching days onced
lived in a trailer in Mexico (1961) be-
cause he has been a collector of one thin
or another all his life.
Experience in life has not been lacking for Leo as three hitches
in CCC Camps (Civilian Conservation Corps) at (1) Tonto Basin, AZ.
(2) Rogue River, OR. and (3) White Rock Lake Dallas, TX. followed
by BS in education ( 1 9 4 1 ) from Texas Tech and MS in Education ( 1 9 49)

Vega Corp. Burbank, CA making Vega Venturas, P- 3 8 1 s and later Boe-
,
ing B - 1 s He has been a school teacher for many years
1 .
His wife Jo Ann puts up with his collecting of San Antonio and
Texas woods, San Antonio tokens and medals, and a Mexican date coil-
ection which Leo started in 1961 and completed in 1978.
Many awards as a school administrator has been received and Leo
has belonged to many civic and professional organizations. He is a
present member of the Gateway Coin Club and the A.N.A. over 20 years
lead him to meeting Louis Berkie owner of
the Elbee Co., Fun in San Antonio. Mr. Warren's guess is 50%

of the woods struck during the peroid 1950 to date. Leo gives Berkie
a lot of credit on obtaining many woods in his collection.

( IOWA CITY, IOWA
ISSIt;
In 1992, City Park Rides of Iowa City marked its 40th year. This family-owned amusement
park, run by Lyle Drollinger, is located to the north of town next to the Ohio River. The
rides include a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, tubes of fun, children's cars, and two
children's airplane rides. The park is known throughout Iowa for its fun atmosphere and
its inexpensive prices.
To celebrate the anniversary, a set of thirteen wooden nickels were printed. The obverse
and reverse lettering are printed in black, except for "animal" letters centered on the
reverse, which are red or blue. Each letter stands for a specific animal (C = Caterpillar
I = Iguana, T= Tiger, ect.) When the full set is assembled in order, it spells out "CITY
PARK RIDES" in alternating red and blue letters.
A thousand unlettered wooden niclels were ordered, and the animal letters were hand
stamped. Most of the nickels were given away last summer or will be given away this summer
at the amusement park. Several individual nickels and full sets are available to collectors
at the following prices:
—
Nickel (you may specify letter) 50b plus a SASE. A set of 13 Nickels and one
1 —
unlettered nickel $6.00 postpaid.

MICKEY STARR - IOWMC # R 1952
Mickey Starr of Grants Pass, Oregon in addition to coll-
ecting about everything publishes three tabloids: EXONUMIA
(1)
MONTHLY, (2) FAST FOOD TOYS, (3) TOY & HOBBY MARKET.
The four page Exonumia Monthly is a tabloid for collectors
and dealers of tokens, medals, wooden nickels, fobs, elongated
coins, chips, scrip, checks, stocks, bonds, lottery tickets,
credit cards, chauffeur, police and fire badges, political
and Olympic pins. Starr's four page Fast Food Toys features
ads for bottle caps, glasses, old soda pop memorabilia, Mc-
Donald's Christmas ornaments & toys, cereal boxes, etc. etc..
His eight page Toy & Hobby Market list ads for books, coins,
comics, stamps, toys, non-sport cards, sport cards, publicat-
ions, old stock and bond certificate, etc. etc..
These tabloids that list wanted and for sale articles
aren't from just an area of the country but are all over
the United States. These news letters look like a must for
the exotic collectors; if I may call them that.
Although Mickey has over 1,000 woods his main interest
in this field is the collection of information. He belongs
to about every exonumia, fast food toys, and glass organiza-
tions that exist. He is quick to admit he will join about
any organization he isn't already belonging too.
More information about these tabloids can be obtained
by writing: Mickey Starr, 417 Burgess, Grants Pass, OR.

PENNY VAN'S MUSEUM BOUND; BELIEVE IT OR NOT
By: Kim Bradley-Staff Writer
George King has enough pennies to buy
buy the thoughts of two and one-half million
people
With 48,773 of his pennies, the coin
collector covered his 1962 Ford Van from
bumper to bumper. That took six years, and
he still has a lot of copper left over.
King, known as the Penny Van Man in North
Carolina where he now lives, just sold his
unusual vehicle to Ripley, s Believe-It-Or-
Not. It has gone to Seoul, Korea then on to Tokyo, Japan for permanent display with more
of the world's oddities. The van was last in St. Augustine, where King's son-in-law, Tom
Ward, cleaned it up a bit. Since the project was completed in 1978, the copper had tarnished
a dark brown. Now it shines like a strange scaley creature.
King, 63, began gluing pennies to the van while recovering from a back operation in
Pompano Beach. He noticed the van was beginning to rust and needed a paint job, but he
was confined to a wheel chair and couldn't get the van to a shop. So he just started stick-
ing pennies to the spots. "I was sitting in a room full of pennies, it was the natural
thing to do," he said from his home in Forest City, NC. "Plus, I needed to get rid of sane
of them."
The pennies added 321 pounds to the van. The interior dashboard contained all 1962
pennies. All the pennies are heads up but one. All are United States but one. On the rear
of the van, toward the right, there's a Canadian penny. That's for his Canadian wife Ruby.
He met her at a drive-in in Deerfield Beach, FL. 15 years ago while in the midst of
the penny project. He parked his van, with one completed side next to Ruby and her daughter.
Talk about a conversation piece.
Since King's childhood, he's been fascinated with pennies - "the smallest, yet strongest"
of the coins - and also with the man whose face covers the coin. King models his life after
Abraham Lincoln. "He was the most honest person. That's the way I am," he said. "There's
nothing on my mind that's negative." He's gone so far as to trim his beard like Lincoln's.
Over the years, dressed like Lincoln, King traveled in the Penny Van appearing at bank
openings across the state. His hobby includs appraising coins for banks in North Carolina.
Selling the van was not a easy decision. He is going to miss it. So will the young
residents of the small town between Asheville and Charlotte, NC. He's received 28 letters
from elementary students at Rutherford County, NC. School pleading to him not to sell the
van, but he says it's time. King says he's getting older and wants the world to see it.
"Discounting any monetary value, its been a lifetime of joy for me," he said.
Any one wishing to purchase a 2" wooden Penny Van issue and also a elongated cent, Please
send $1.00 total for both issues. To: Penny Van Man, P O Box 389, Forest City, NC. 28043.
EDITORS NOTE: Any member that sent my wife and I a holiday greeting and did not receive
a returned wood, Please drop me a note and one will be sent including a stamp to replace
one used. Also, Mayme asked that I include a thank you to ones that sent her a Get Well
- Scotty
note or card wishing her recovery.
