Late 60's / early 70's Single owner collection

Post by RSSierra »

Just picked up this small lot, all purchased when the original owner was around 10 years old in the late 60's, most in pretty good condition. Another seller who is downsizing and getting rid of their excess to make room.

Original auction photo hinted at pretty good condition, but wasn't close up enough to guarantee it so there wasn't a great deal of interest.

In reality a few chips / scratches here and there but I am happy.

Pretty standard stuff I assume. Happy to take more photo's if any one wants different angles.

Cheers

Looks like a nice group, congrats :)

Perhaps the yellow baseplate on the SF 41c is not too common. I'm sure our resident SF affectianado Motorman, can give some insight on this.

Yellow baseplate on the SF41a is less common than the green or black bases but not what I would consider rare as they are out there, grey base is probably somewhat harder to find than the yellow imho. Great photos btw and they really do show the detail of each model exceptionally well.

Gene, the #41 is actually not difficult to find with the light yellow baseplate. That said it can be found with a much deeper more vivid yellow which is seen less often. I agree with Rob also that the grey base is hard to find
