Wheel of the Day: Message for the Milkman

4/10/2016

 
Remember milkmen? We had one in Houston even when I was in high school in the 70s, believe it or not. But we didn't have anything as cool as this Daricraft milkman order wheel. All we had was a little order slip whose master had been photocopied a thousand times over.

This wheel has great wheel action design going for it and is one of my favorites. Just marvel at the classic milkman shield shape! Doesn't it remind you of the hats they used to wear?

This wheel is in pretty good shape and still has great color. It's six inches tall and four and a half wide. Is it swankier to say "quality supreme" rather than "supreme quality"? The execs at APCO Specialties couldn't be bothered to put a date on their wheels. I wouldn't call that a "quality" decision.

So there you have it. If you think this one is fancy, just wait till you see what I have in store for you tomorrow!
