The correspondence is getting more interesting. My uncle worked for Hyster Portland after the Korean War naval duty, I think in the plant. He was a bachelor in the early 50's and looked after Grandma where I spent a good portion of time as a youngster. She had accumulated a wonderful collection of cast iron John Deere ag toys with which I was privileged to play. Mixed in was a small Hyster forklift with a side **** that raised and lowered the fork carriage and upright on a chain winder. One fork was missing and the steering wheel was gone. No overhead guard on this model as there were none then. Much to my surprise, in 1973 after I moved to Danville my mother sent me the forklift and it is proudly in my model display today. I have added right sized forks and fixed the steering wheel. It is complete. Other models are a H800A container handler, a smaller sized Druge Hyster straddle carrier, a H60C (Brazil), a H150XL (U.S.A.) and a number of Hyster H40XLs that were used in the 90s for dealer sales awards. I also have a collection of coffee coasters (winch line), pens, knives, pocket pen protectors, key fobs, demitasse cup, etc. Lots of old stabbed H logo fabric patches. Only two old photographs of the Handy Andy models.
