A Father’s Legacy

The photo shows a collection of vintage books by the author Victor Appleton II, featuring the character Tom Swift. The books have colorful covers with illustrations of Tom Swift and his various adventures. There is also a small glass bottle filled with iron fillings and a miniature cowboy figurine, suggesting a connection to the Western themes often found in the Tom Swift series. The overall atmosphere of the photo is nostalgic and evokes a sense of childhood wonder.

These items were all my father’s items. He loved Tom Swift and the science of the stories.
