I would make the assumption that Ed put some of his models up for auction the same way I did, and I would suspect at the same auctioneer. Ed Force lives close to that auctioneer, or did.



Hi Bill!
(Got your book and we have corresponded on other forums in the past.) Which auctioneer were you thinking of?

I think Ed Force has been letting go some of his collection, a bit at a time, for some years. I have been lucky to obtain several items claimed to be from his collection over the last ten years at least (obtained from another well respected collector in the states who was tasked with revising one of Ed's books).

Lloyd Ralston Galleries over a series of auctions in 2015. I mentioned to them that using my name may have boosted the prices, but they didn't want to do it. A number of collectors now have something from my collection but don't even know it.

Just a few examples below.

Dear Bill and Ian.

I have moved your last few posts from the Dinky topics into here, the Corgi topics as a more appropiate place for them with a link to here from the original posting area for those expecting your posts to be still showing in RSSierra's Dinky Additions.
