    I grew up living next door to Mr. Miller - to have a genuine toy designer next door was neat!

    He had worked for Nichols Toys, I think it was, in Jacksonville, TX, but in his retirement he made these oil wells among other things, including the 'Bat Masterton canes' that shot plastic bits!

    He died several days after my Dad, in December 1980.
