I love this!! My dad who is 87 now, is a retired barber who spent his whole career in downtown Seattle cutting hair and shaving many a faces!! From John Wayne- everytime he visited Seattle, Senators, Judges, TV personalities, Paul Revere- of Paul Revere & the Raiders band, heads of Boeing and Nordstrom and Microsoft- , to your everyday special guy next door, and was know for treating them all with the same respect and great customer service no matter who they were. He had a collection similar to this, that I used to play with all the time as a child. I even started learning how to count with them, he had so many. I always thought it fascinating that so many different types have been made throughout the years...Thanks for the memories..
