The Gentleman, Henry, who owned this item wasa young teenager during the WWII period, growing upin a German neighborhood in Queens, NY.

He had rheumatic fever when small,which left him with an enlarged heart. The doctors told his parents thathe wouldn\'t live to see his twelfth birthday. His illness left him unableto join neighborhood kids in more strenuous activity. He immersed himselfin more sedentary hobbies such as stamp and coin collecting, models and raisingtropical fish which proved very lucrative. He was a model railroadingenthusiast and built the buildings on the layouts himself, adding tremendousdetail.

Due to his German heritage, hereceived gifts from extended family members in Europe. He was an only child and cared for his toyswith attention to detail.
