Our Father, Richard Everett Kincaid, a WWII veteran; was a true-blue lover of trains, and a life-long employee of the Great Northern Railroad, which later in the early '60s, became known as Burlington Northern Railroad. This love of trains was transferred to all of us as small children, and naturally we grew up with the train set and all of the associated toys and paraphanelia. It was a great chil
dhood. As we all grew older, for me, that passion grew into automobiles, aircraft, ships, travel and the innovators and dreamers who first dreamed an idea and then designed, built, and ultimately sold and marketed these new inventions to a burgeoning middle class in an emerging superpower. Early print advertising in America is a mirror to that emerging middle class--who's parents and grandparents literally came west on horseback and covered wagons, that went on to grow up in the days of Edison,the Wright Brothers,Henry Ford and within their own lifetime, witness on television the Apollo Moon landings in that summer of 1969. I was four years old at the time; but I remember it like it was yesterday. Gathered around our then new RCA color television, not one of us kids got much sleep that night. We just watched two American heroes plant the Stars and Stripes on a foreign world, and the race to colonize the galaxy was now a real possibility. For a kid who grew up on the Jetsons, flying cars were just around the corner! The items represented here at Kincaid Collectibles are the pinnacle of that generation, reflecting the needs, wants, and desires of a group of Americans that survived the Great Depression; fought the Axis on three fronts, and then came home to get married, get a college education, and build a home and future for their children and grandchildren.
