I really don't know Bob, it was an accidental find, I was not actually looking for Merryweathers, but it was recent so may have been a catalogue produced in the last few Months.

Hand painted lettering and shield? Never in my wildest dreams (or youth) was my hand ever steady enough for such.

I don't see why not, the 10 wheeled version is quite desirable and in some collector's views hard to find.

Ok enough of the RW Matchbox!
How about some serious Meccano stuff?
1.28/1 Promo "W E Boyce" : only one example currently known...
2. 28/0/2 HG Loose : one example...
3. Fantasy Dinky Time...
Liverpool Echo Van, a few were possibly made for a Pre War trade exhibit? Or were they? No known examples...
I think / hope these were made, and were type 3, ? I swear I once saw a picture of several of these on a trade display, but maybe I was drunk / dreaming??

I stopped reading when I saw the "no HTF models, rare only" rule in the same post implying red 53a Aston Martins with BPW are rare, but white over red 50a Commers are only HTF. Eh? I'd reverse that.
What about boxes that are holy grails? Are we "allowed" to post them?
Where's the fun in quibbling about rules about what we can post here for 3 pages anyhow?
Cheers,

I completely agree with Gavin on this point to not quibble much so keep the pictures and associated comments coming!!
