...the very thought of finding it on a vintage piece can stop a collector's heart. It came my way a couple weeks ago on this very nice Marklin 346/1 HO scale tinplate coach, a reminder of the first law of thermodynamics, entropy---matter tends to go from order to disorder. More on zinc pest can be found here and here.
Though these pieces were given to me, it is a constant reminder that my home and my treasure is not and should never be here.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
