Got in an hour with Gunner before the rains came. Went to my teens - 40s dump and came up with a blue painted #3 gallon crock and a blue decorated chamber pot - 1800s stoneware! Both were broken, but I started collecting the pieces because they were larger breaks that can be repaired. Yeehaw. Unfortunately, I didn't take pics of the them in situ because the rain was too hard and I was worried about my cell phone getting too wet. Also, I have the pieces neatly stacked for my return because the car was not nearby and I had nothing to carry them with. But, I will take pics tomorrow when the rain passes.

Someone on this site asked earlier what a dump was. To you, this is a trash dump that I was referring to. Not a garbage dump.

Still looking for the wings and hoping to put it back together. The color has remained amazing.

My guess is the wings were probably the first thing to break off. Those old metal planes didn't fly so well but I'm sure every kid tried.

At the very least, I still have the prop attached and they're usually the very first thing to go.
