Tom Thumb



Way back when I was a teenager I saw an IHC Tom Thumb like this engine for sale... for the unattainable sum for me, of $35.00. I don't really know what collectors these days are paying for highly desirable engines like this one, but I do know that you would be hooted down if you offered only $1000. A Tom Thumb is still out of reach for me; some things never change.

  1. I know the feeling, it seems some things are meant to be admired instead of acquired.

  2. You have that right! For the price of a Tom Thumb I think I could buy a couple new Super Blackhawks AND a professional grade chainsaw. At least none of the collectors charge for the photos I take.
