Doing a bit of shed tidying and saw this lot....who can name any and the manufacturer.....a test for the true school bores..... Some I have had since 1967... [IMG][/IMG]
The three vintage cars came as a set and I got them in 1967 when my parents took me to Ireland, England and the US to visit rellies.....back then the flight to London went...whenuapai, fiji, tahiti, Hawaii ( i think) and LA...then Ney York, Shannon in Ireland and Heathow...... the good old days....?
Pics please.
ekk,a Naki worm!
....stops moisture getting into the Guzzi exhausts?
Vintages are matchbox Models of Yesteryear. Red wonderwhapper is Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons by Dinky. Grey Aston Martin BD6, Bond, James Bond is a Corgi. One Kombi is Matchbox, the other is a fun-ho. London Taxi besmirched by a schooolboy paint brush in grey is Matchbox and that red deTomaso Pantera (not sure about that one) is also Matchbox. London bus by Matchbox. I think. Geez they sure breed big maggots out there in Niake. Must've left a piece of meat somewhere it ought'nt be.
that is a toy for guzzi riders...they never know if they are coming or going.......
Used to have a big box of Matchbox toys.When I was a lad my mother worked at the Tonka factory,and so had some of those too - she used to custom make some by mismatching parts,bet they would be worth a bit now.They used to make other toys too,so plenty of toys around our house.After Tonka she worked at the place that made Toro blocks - stuff used to fall into her bag all the time,so lots of Toro to use too.I'm not one for putting stuff up on a shelf to look at,so after 4 kids the Tonka stuff is rusty junk,and the matchbox cars scratched and mangled.They did their job. After the toy factories my mother worked in production engineering shops,operating capstan and CNC lathes.Mum always had the perfect job for me.
