Donuts and Doughboys
Over There Donuts and Doughboys. Salvation Army Ladies Serving US WW1 Troops from soup kitchen with original box, nine pieces.
The November 2009 auction consisted of 644 lots, with the Heyde lots getting a tremendous amount of interest.
Ray Haradin of Old Toy Soldier Auctions: A much-anticipated highlight of the sale was the late Dr. James "Doc" Wengert's collection of figures, vehicles and other scale-model toys related to military medicine. A third-generation physician, Dr. Wengert served as a U.S. Navy flight surgeon during the Vietnam War. Because of his profession, he chose to specialize in medical figures – doctors, nurses, orderlies, stretcher bearers, wounded soldiers – and all the accoutrements that a collector might desire in setting up a miniature M.A.S.H unit, like operating tents, field kitchens, rescue dogs and emergency vehicles.
"Many new people with a connection to medicine – notably physicians and dentists – heard about this unique collection and decided to bid in the sale. They couldn't have picked a better way to get started in this specialty collecting field."
