Looks like my scanning is done for the day since my printer is distorting color scans.

Sparton came a long way from this early truck to the 50's-60's era Displaymobile that was a rolling showroom displaying the latest models of Sparton TV and Hi-Fi.

The older photograph doesn't have any identification on it, but it sure looks like other photos that I've seen of Sparton's owner, William "Cap" Sparks.

I was standing in the checkout line at Forgotten Generations Estate Sales and Services new antique store last week with another Jackson collector that picked up a piece from this hardware store. Hope he sees this.
