*OLD CANS!*
He used to go to all the public functions...especially the
movie theaters. And he always carried a sugar bag to collect empty bottles and
cans.
His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney. Everyone thought he was a
bit eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him. Then it was discovered that he sold the empty bottles but only
some of the cans.
After he died in 1998 (aged 86) his large collection of model
cars made from aluminum cans was discovered.
This goes to prove..."you shouldn't judge a book by its cover" - or a sculptor by his sugar bag.
Some of his collection ----
AMAZING!
