New in Sir_Matchbox_96's collection!

[Ewan]

I am getting a little jealous of your fleamarkets
Love the Hoch and Tief bulldozer - hope you find the rest of the set.

Hi Ewan,
thanks for your kind post.
Yes there is no better engagement on a saturday or sunday morning than getting up early and going to a fleamarked!
It will be hard to find a single "Hoch and Tief" lowloader in good condition, but I will try my best.
Here my only two "Hoch and Tief" models till now. Bought them in a lot with some other nice pieces, example given: Superkings VW Golf I "ADAC".

Have a nice weekend,
Linus

Very nice collections, Linus.
Congrats.
A top collection of interesting Matchbox models.

Unfortunately, we can only dream about it in Austria.

Yes, very nice display you have put together, you have a nice early #43 Pony Trailer with a tan base (this was later to be painted in dark green). Shame you say some parts are missing from the service station, I expect most suffer from this, kids really should not be allowed to play with such toys, it spoils it for us adults when we collect them...

Ghosty.

Very nice Linus, the service station comes alive with the models (not sure about grazing horses though )

Good evening,
Thanks for your posts guys.

You are absolutely right Ghosthunter...just imagine...a world only with MINT matchbox toys But this would make collecting matchbox toys a bit boring.

Yes Johnboy the grazing horses... But I have an explanation:
Check the picture below! You never saw something like that?! This horse is a really gourmet. The grass in these cracks is the best you can find
Only the best for my Matchbox Horses
Okay no...I will reconsider this!

Linus

It's always a good day when the postman rings!

Good evening,
today I went to a vintage car show + scale car/toy fair.
Here are the results. Some nice items in there, I really like the dark green "Singer" van and the Superkings Mercedes C111 with clear windows and another mechanism to 'turn the lights on'. (seems a bit rarer, maybe a Superkings expert could help.) I got the Singer van for less than 5€.
I will post the real cars in the forum soon.

Greetings,
Linus
