Merry Christmas from Messick's

Not to be picky but isn't the first tractor supposed to have a RED nose?

I actualy tried for a red nose, but I just could not find the right thing to use for it. I tried a wad of red lights, but it just looked lame.

Not to be picky?? Since when?


Anyway.. Neil, I think it's great. Even used the reason for the season. Well done!

Since 1939. That is when Rudolph the RED nosed reindeer was "created" as a promotional gimick for Montogomery Wards (that was a department store chain that you might also be too young to remember).

I remember Montogomery Wards (my grandpa always called it "Monkey" Wards)
and have some of their tools. But I don't remember when Rudolph was created. That was a bit before me!

Anyway nice job and Merry Christmas to you also Neil.

Since I wasn't born until 1940, I don't recall hearing of Rudolph until a local boy named Gene Autry recorded the song in 1949. But yes, we definitely shopped at Monkey Wards.
