He used to go to all the public functions..

especially the picture theaters.

And he always carried a sugar bag to collect

empty bottles and cans.

 

His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney

Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kids

would tease and hassle him.

Then it was discovered that he sold the

empty bottles but only some of the cans.

 

After he died in 1998 (aged 86) his large collection

of model cars made from aluminum cans was

discovered.

 

This goes to prove..."you shouldn't judge a book by

its cover" - or a sculptor by his sugar bag.

 

Some of his AMAZING! collection ----
