Love the painted door on the rear of the enclosed trailer. The side of the trailer always reads Nickey, open & closed!

Neat story Stefano!
I grew up in northern Chicago burbs and I remember having one of these clickers until I broke it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Stefano, that letter is truly amazing. The pictures are also. I grew up in Chicago about five miles from Nickey and the smoke stack was something I saw often.
