Tony's Toys

If the man that dies with the most toys is the winner, the rest of us can give up now. We will never live long enough to accumulate what Tony Mangum has. I have been helping Tony some on the upcoming class social. I asked him to let me take some pictures of his toys to share with you on the blog. 


Tony's latest project is Mid-60's Buick Riviera. 


This ride has the big block nailhead with two fours. 


Here is the civil war cannon replica. His group does a lot of traveling with this cannon for reinactments and special events. 


This is the "limber" better know as an ammo wagon. 


1934 ford five window coupe. 


You probably guessed that Tony owns a hog. 


Tony in his Civil War museum. 


More museum stuff. 

 
Some nice prints and artifacts. 

THIS PHOTOGRAPH WAS CENSORED by my daughter as inappropriate, although George Clooney wore one in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". 

Original outfit speaks to the history of the South whether we like it or not. You can not change where you were born or your experiences growing up. Our responsibility is to see that the mistakes of the past are not repeated. 

These are a few of his toys. He showed me lots more than what I've shown. Come to the class social and he could show you the rest of his collection. Heck, he might even fire the cannon.
