The depth of your knowledge of this old stuff never fails to amaze me Dave.
Fair play.

Hi all, Yeah that looks like a Dinky phone box, if it is it will have Dinky Toys Meccano cast into the panel without windows, I don't know enough about the other stuff to say, the soldiers, signs, pumps etc are about of the same period by the look of them. The light plane looks postwar, quite hard t...

Hi all, I often wondered if Triang were originally going to push these cars more into the North American market. I don't think the Spot On range was very well known there, or even if they were widely sold? I can't image the original line up of Morris 1100's and Thames Traders etc being very popular ...

Hi Dave,
So glad you got them. What a weird story though? So did this seller buy them off the first one then relist? Strange.
They are all really nice mate, the 23a is in amazing condition.
Hope the last one turns up, again, weird.

Hi Dave, I absolutely love the A105, it's one of my all time Dinky Toys. As far as I know the variations as to colours / hubs are: All cream body / Dark blue stripe / Cream hubs. Cream body / Dark blue roof / Dark blue stripe / cream hubs (?) Cream body / Light blue roof / Light blue stripe / cream ...

Hi all, Looking at issues of the Meccano Magazine from the 30's - 50's It always amazes me how seriously the company was about educating Boys (and it WAS aimed at Boys) in Engineering / Electrical Engineering, Physics, etc etc. While selling them the companies products of course, but I can't see a t...

I'll ignore the mini moke as it's the odd one out, and not really worth anything in that condition. All the others look post war, 1945 - 50. From left r...

Nice one Ghosty, I've not seen this one either. Another casting that Dinky didn't use enough, wouldn't have been hard to make a very nice Escort van too while they were at it.

Hi Fordy,
This time I've sent the PM to you instead of myself which might help!
These are all Postwar, just to confirm.

Hi Dave,
I love the Micro Models Commer, I'm still after one of the artic tankers or the Bedford Bus.
My Dinky Commer artic's missing the stake sides too mate, I had a mint boxed set years ago, but it's sadly long gone.
Great stuff again mate!
