Hey Robert,
     Didn't Jimmy D. buy out some of their kits? They were the resin background kits, right?

 Peace Valley came out with 3 kits that are know to me. I saved the photos in a file ... here they are...Stover's Shoe Supply, John Mazza & Sons Pipe Co. and Acme Chemical...there are 2 photos of Acme Chemical a front & rear, the other 2 were background models only.  Can't find the rear view of Acme...will post latter....

 Here's the back photo of Acme Chemical, found in a different folder...it was the only two sided kit Peace Valley made. This was the final and also the most expensive kit that was produced by them.

I bought the Stover's kit way way back in the old days of the CSS. I started it years ago  but put it on the shelf midway thru.... very nice kit. Big thick resin castings, wanted to get another kit but he went out of business. I think I saw some at Jimmy's table when I was at Scranton.

Hey Robert-
    Well, I got sidetracked with other projects and then.....well, you know how it is! Did you contact Jimmy D. regarding these kits? I could swear that he told me he bought them to sell.....

Bob,
That's not Peace Valley
That's a old South Coast or Suncoast resin kit
Jimmy D did buy that line
Not the one I am looking for
Thanks

Hi All:

Peace Valley Models were done by Dave Satter I believe. He was A customer in our Penn Valley Hobby shop where I worked in Lansdale, Pa. I believe he was from North Wales, Pa. I believe he made the 3 kits mentioned above. I know a built a few of them. If I can find photo I will post them.

Dave was around a lot then he kinda just disappeared.

Hi Robert:

No I do not and I haven't been able to find many photos if I took any. Built back in late 90's to early 2000's. Wasn't on any forums. I will continue to look to see if I have any photos.

Unlike the bottom two kits, I have Stover's Shoe Supply and it is basically a building/background flat.

Its kind of a shame that these molds are stored away somewhere out there!

Hi Tom:

Thanks for posting the photo of my build. I also built the shoe company. However, I can't find any pics. Yep that's my basement paneling.
