Mr. Taylor and His wife, Carol, began collecting while he was in service to this Country, serving in the U.S. Navy stationed in the Upper New England area.  They began collecting in 1981 and continued until his retirement from the Navy when they moved back to Tennessee with all their finds.  Carol, sadly, passed in 2012 and left David with 30 years of fond memories.  Dave is in his 80’s now and feels it is time to let go of his wonderful collection and allow others to enjoy what he and Carol enjoyed for so long.
