New arrivals

Some more new arrivals...

This morning,this Ford b ch 25J arrived without its cover ! ! (photo 1) By luck  I had one which was waiting for its owner !  (photo 2) Richard

Richard- Very nice ! Even though I dont actively collect any longer,I still am trying to find a few elusive models to complete some areas of my collection.In the French Ford 25 series the only version of the bache I am missing is the firstand plain one,without any livery,such as you are showing.These dont come up very often at all.If you happen to see any others available I would appreciate you letting me know,if possible.I really love the whole series of Ford trucks,and that one would complete my collection.

Squeezed in one last XK120...

JonathanVery nice.....the yellow version happens to be one of my favorites.Which other(s) do you already have ? My red one dates to around 1956 & has always been a great model.Dinky did a particularly nice job with the casting on this one....very true to scale ! Best regards,Terry

Thanks,Terry.Here it is crammed in with my others...( my red and green ones are the two with spun wheels)

Wow.....nice collection of Jags ! Do you now have all varieties ? I am not that aware of all variations......Terry

This morning I got this one: Studebaker Tapissi re 25 L in the uncommon combination blue bodyand wheels in the 1st type variation with maron cover.Unfortunately,the rear hook is broken !  Kind regards Richard

Two similar but different pictures,the one on top taken thirteen years ago,the one on the bottom taken today.The difference is the orange type 4 example in the middle.It arrived yesterday as an ' as new ' replacement of my previous example,a heavily play - worn Market Gardener ' s Wagon,which I bought on a flee market in Amsterdam almost four decades agoand restored it afterwards.Kind regards,Jan

Included too was a very special no.161b AA Gun on Trailer,my fifth variation,making them complete in my opinion.It ' s the first,early post - war edition,and,with its very unusual original white treaded tyres,possibly even belonging to a first batch to be sent to the USA,like similar examples of the no.152b Reconnaisance Car.To be posted more accurately in the 161b topic thread.Kind regards,Jan

What a nce AA Gun,Jan ! Meantime untiland unless I come across another original Dinky display I can ' t resist,I am welland truly out of space for any more Dinky Toys.So what to do for some final acquisitions ? Well,I got a gift setthat can display itself,plus another item that can be placed on top of an existing vehicle.( The Nicky Toys version of the Antar transporter was never supplied with the transformer...)

Jan Once more you have found an extraordinary model in excellent + + + conditions.CONGRATULATIONS Question: is the base of the early open typeor the later closed.All the best.Jacques
