Taylor Story

Item #1089

(February, 1985) This peddler is well-prepared to do some “tailoring” with his large assortment of buttons and thread. I was reminded of stories of peddlers in the land of my fathers, Scotland, and how they carried countless items with them. Taylor is prepared in case the customer wants pot and pans, a pair of shoes, or even a computer chip! If he meets a Gnome who has torn the seat of his trousers on the bottom rung of a barbed wire fence, he can mend it right on the spot and entertain him with some jokes while doing it. You see (as the coin indicates), he is a “traveling salesman”!
