AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Opening the doors of a half-dozen storage units in Canal Fulton reveals 11 pieces of vintage military equipment and one sparkling surprise that represents a major battle of World War II.

The unusual collectible is a newly refurbished, 20-year-old mobile Iwo Jima statue. Its figures, freshly repainted in their Marine uniforms, re-create the dramatic flag-raising on the Pacific Island in February 1945.
