What's it about?

• The Wooden Toy Thompson story was a stumbled on, and unbelievably cool adventure.  A detached butt stock from a WWII Thompson submachine gun with a flakey decal attached, that was observed in 1984, prompted a decades long search for answers to the typical questions of Who, What, When, Where and Why?      And the surprises that followed.
