I thought that too. The stage coach could be a morestone which is quite hard to find especially in good condition like this one.

On closer inspection the 4 horses with the stage coach only have 10 legs between them........slight problem.

It's definitely one I will be investigating when this lot arrives.

I can't sit back and let all you experts have the fun...here is some I know.

I forgot to put the brand in the circle of the Turquoise car at lower left of picture...HUBLEY.

The Stagecoach is probably Morestone as the driver (bottom right) is the same one as on the one I have. Not sure if original but mine also has a small trunk which sits on the roof.

The dark Green fuel tanker trailer looks like a TOOTSIETOY, but I don't recognise the cab unit.

The taxis are probably Barclays but could be "Its A beaut" - The Goodee marked in the following photo might be a tootsie as there appear to be a lot of those in the mix but I think the Tootsie is the one further down on the same side of the photo...

This lot arrived today, I'm really happy with the Dinky's, which can be viewed at the link below in my Dinky thread. The lot came from a US Train Dealer and more than likely was a collection of various layout accessories, with a few surprises and more Gems than I realised. The majority of which have been correctly identified above.

Firstly the sole Lesney





Barclays

















Barclay Car Carriers and loads, missing trailers.....



Midgetoy Bus, Repainted but a great design







Midgetoy Fire Engine







Tootsietoys





Unidentified Lead Vintage cars, these are HEAVY. All missing there windscreen surrounds and all slightly different, the one on the right has railway wheels. Strangely they all have jewelled headlights.





Hubley and two Generic plastics





Ralstoy Tanker







An interesting extremely well made mystery:

Lastly what I consider to be the best of the non Dinkys:

A full set of 12, Made in Italy, Ingap 20 Series 1/70 cars issued in the early sixties. All in pretty good nick except the Nash which has been overpainted:





No 1 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud





No 2 Jaguar Mk7





No 3 Volkswagen





No 4 Fiat 1100





No 5 MGA





No 6 Alfa Romeo Giuletta Sprint





No 7 Lancia Aurelia Gran Turismo





No 8 Mercedes SL 300





No 9 Nash Metropolitan





No 10 Citroen A11





No 11 Citroen DS19





No 12 Chrysler Imperial Berlina





All usefully numbered underneath



Finally my favourite item and one which I will need to get undamaged horses for, The Morestone Stage Coach. The driver was identified in the photo's and the chest for the roof was in the box at the front of the picture. A well made, heavy item in very good condition which will stay in my collection!

Those 'Generic' plastic toy cars are...

The large Green Cadillac is a 'HUBLEY' Kiddie toy.
The small model (not sure what make of car), is an 'MPC'.

and the light Blue and Yellow cars are from 'IDEAL', first appearing in 1952 as part of a an Auto transporter set, shown below.

I love that car transporter - now go on to find the trailer!
