I am slightly suspicious of this rare yellow version - the model shown on the box doesn't have a decal or is it there are two rare yellow versions - one with and one without the decal?
Sadly I think my fire pumpers must all be fakes - they are red with denver decals

Re: 10c Tate & Lyle Sugar
Did Eric (from Holland) help out with the restoration - he seems to be very active on EBay at the moment!tractorboy wrote:Wow! That's some restoration Joe, I'm very impressed.

Re: Recent finds
That must be the world’s biggest collection of no quotes Case tractors! I don’t think anyone’s shown base 3 before, so it’s good to know it exists. Jason has base 2, so that’s confirmation of all four in this very early base. The previous discussion was here . Managed to get another couple of no qu...

Re: Preproduction 34c?
Just checked Vectis - it made £300 plus their costs which I think are 25% with postage on top!
Wish I could find the buyer - maybe offer him a few beaters after I have dipped and dried them!

That must be the world’s biggest collection of no quotes Case tractors! Thanks for the comments - I think I got lucky and was able to get 4 of them over the same weekend a few months ago I don’t think anyone’s shown base 3 before, so it’s good to know it exists. I have posted below base photos of m...

Re: Recent finds
Late last year I got my first Case bulldozer without the quotes on the base but never got around to posting it. This year I managed to get another six models without the quotes. Out of the total of seven models two are beaters so I haven't posted them but the other five are in good condition and are...

Re: Recent finds
A few months ago I tried to buy a 2c Dumper with the Muir Hill decal but was well outbid - so I decided to find out what I could about this model and see what was available - this selection is small in size but I think I got a little lucky with one of them 1 Later model with unpainted grill, thick a...

Re: "Ghosty" adds NON Rolls-Royce models to his collection!!
Just added this nice little 'B' Type London Bus to my Non Rolls-Royce collection via forum member ''tjlglass'' (thanks Tim for the prompt and very reliable service). Number 2 in the early Models of Yesteryear range this should have a plentiful display of decals front, rear and on the sides but this...

Re: Recent finds
Thanks for all the comments More lovely models - I especially like the two early Mercedes. ...the Opel with black engine is a hard one to find. The grey engine is hard to find - black is unlisted, as far as I know. Tell us more! Is there anything else special about this one? A couple of years ago I ...

Re: Recent finds
I think the split is about 50/50 painted/unpainted rivet Interesting. I'll have to look for the painted rivet version. The thin wheels are definitely not common. I managed to dig out all of my Dodge Crane Truck 63c thin wheel versions - conditions vary from beaters to excellent - details below 9 ha...
