 Fred is a tin man that once was a tire man when my grandpa bulit him in 1988. When Fred was a tire man he was used for advertising. My grandpa made him the same body type as himself so he could dress Fred in his clothes. He put a tshirt, overalls, and a welding cap on him and had him hold a tire to advertise that he did welding and repaired tires. Then in 1991-1992 my grandpa lost weight and couldnt put him in his clothes anymore. There was a lady that traveled with her grand daughter from kansas to oklahoma on a regular basis and the lady told her grand daughter that Fred was the tin man off the wizard of oz. And they had stoped and asked about him and taken pictures with him. So my grandpa converted him over to look like the tin man off the wizard of oz. Fred now hold an ax and an oil can. I hope you enjoy this cache! Feel free to take a pic and post it with Fred he loves the company!
