Today, I’ll be posting the last photos of the display cases of Jeff Nelson’s gum collection.\u00a0 With one small caveat;\u00a0 These were the display cases that were filled and completed before we arrived.<\/p>\n

We spent our two-and-a-half days in Toledo, sorting gum with Jeff and a few of his wonderful neighbors, and all of that gum will be going into the new display cases Jeff has built for them.\u00a0 It’s likely that at some point, we’ll revisit Jeff and his collection, and share photos of another thirty or so cases.\u00a0 It’s pretty remarkable.<\/p>\n

The next seven cases are indicated case F01 to F07.\u00a0 That’s because these display cases contain gum not from the United States, so they’re foreign.\u00a0 Most of these you probably won’t recognize, but a few you will.<\/p>\n

That’s everything for today.\u00a0 Wow, that’s a lot of gum.\u00a0 Including today’s images, I’ve been able to share photos of 43 of Jeff’s gum collection display cases.\u00a0 It’s an incredible gathering of gum, and though I’m wrapping up the display case photos today, I’m not done covering Jeff or his collection.\u00a0 I shall be returning to the\u00a0 topic with more details on our visit there, and a video interview we conducted.<\/p>\n

Next up tomorrow, we’re back with Wacky Wednesdays, and then on Thursday I will be going back to the 70’s for a delicious timeline of a treat that was marketed as “Too Good for Kids”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
