New member from Belgium

[soulmatje]

Hey all,

I just got the go from the administrator (many thx) to join this forum
I live in Belgium and I collected matchbox regulars from my youth some 25 years ago and did put them into a vintage vitrine.

I restarted my intrest in my collection (after 25 years been untouched out of the sun) last december when I bought a matchbox "singer" model in darker green in Malta when I was on a holiday there.
So now I'm rediscovering all my models ranging from the 50's to mid 70's, with or without box.
I'm amazed prices have gone rocket high in the last 20 years.
So I'm not ashamed to say I'm printing the boxes of the models from late 50's and begin 60's to add to the feeling of my collection.
Pictures will follow when I have the time

Happy to join this forum
regards
Dirk

Welcome to the forum, Dirk. As regards prices, there are still good deals to be found with careful searching and a little patience.

Hey Pierkemimi,

I have seen a post of a cortina without paint which I know he has one in his collection.

Good to hear ye
