MODEL CARS & TRUCKS

[Mervyn Mitton]

I had a small collection of model vehicles brought-in last week. I don't usually have toys of any kind -

however, these all seem to be in good condition and Christmas should find a buyer. I suspect that they

were a specialist collection as there are 8 different types of busses.

This could make some interesting posts for this Forum - apart from vehicles, there are many other

types of toys - all of which could make good threads. Have a go...............

I'm sure I posted these somewhere in the past, but will repost now. These are some of my police vehicles collection.

Ed - these are brilliant. Some close-ups would be good - and if you have more keep going. I thought the earlly ones were

interesting. Mervyn

Thanks Mervyn. I'll get some close-ups and post.

Always been interested in post-war toys across the world. Particularly around 1950s-1980s.

[Mervyn Mitton]

Tidbit - welcome to GMIC. Do you actually collect - or, just have an interest ? We will always be very pleased to see posts

from you on this subject. Mervyn

Just got these in.

Sadly not in its original box, but the box they are in seems a time piece made especially to hold the boy's "treasure"!

Part of the wirschafstwunder, made by Schuko in US zone........and sold by a notorious toy shop in Brussels and Antwerp, I remember my grandfather who hated it when it came from that shop, ....because the guy collaborated during the war. ....according to him... ;-)

Do I detect an early VW minibus being used as a fire engine ? Nice to see a new addition to this particular forum subject. Mervyn

That particular fire engine is a quiet rare model from that collection.

I must say those cars have a kind of fantasy look, not really copy's of any existing type.

REF: ID 4--In reviewing my comments I note that it has been THREE years since I promised to show some closeups. Enjoy

A De Dijon Bouton pedal car, I just got in.

I usually prefer to buy newer models, as they have more detail, and that's usually what I'm after, but I seem to have quite a few of these older ones lurking about!

Some Matchbox Superfast "cars" (I put it in ".." as I don't know if one can classify a "Tractor Shovel" as a car)

and some older "Siku" models, of slightly better quality.
