Re: My first Kings
Fantastic Yesteryear collection Bob, cant ever see mine being on display...
Re: My first Kings
Yes indeed, Bob's collection is fantastic! The cabinets look great, too...I'm possibly in the market for such a setup.

Re: My first Kings
I built the cabinets. The lower two have acrylic sheet fronts and contain Code 1 models from Woodgrain (box H) to the end of "Made in England" based models (box I & J). I may do the same for the top one if I can get a sheet the right size.

I lack both the skill and tools necessary to build cabinetry!

Re: My first Kings
Drive down to Florida and we'll build you some cabinets in my garage workshop. If we ever get past this pandemic, you should come in the winter months and get a break from the snow and cold. It's a beautiful day here, sunny and 75* F. Perfect weather to make some cabinets.Squid wrote:I lack both the skill and tools necessary to build cabinetry!

Re: My first Kings
If I had an RV, I'd be on my way. A 50-degree warm-up would be wonderful!

Re: My first Kings
another nice one Bob !
I only have this as a Major Pack.
Here you see TWO ! 1963 UK displays on top of 1 of my cabinets in 2014.
I could not keep these as I was without work at that time.
I found 4 displays in Australia at that time of which these 2 went to the collection of Steve Barfield in the USA
This was a great collection which unfortunately later on was sold completely.
I now would have kept one of those nice Kingsize displays.

Steve sent me a picture back at the time after he received the 2 displays and populated them with the right models.

Re: My first Kings
Next addition, a pretty near pristine model & box. This is how I'd like to get them all.
