MOY giftware piece

[kerbside]

Hello Bob, I have three Model "T" Fords on gift ware and all of them have got a smooth Red roof, but I see your one has the Black roof

A very nice lot of the gift ware you show, I think that the Rolls-Royce must have been a popular model for the gift ware.

This is my listing for the giftware Model T. This was put together some years ago by a fellow collector.

Bob,
Where do the photo's of the Y-10 and associated giftware come from?
Is there a series of photo's for all the models? If so can we see them.

Cheers, Steve

They are from my catalogue of my collection.

Can we see some more? They look like a very good bit of reference material. There isn't a lot around a part from what people like you or Mick have collected over the years and are willing to share with us. I've not seen any catalogue showing everything.

There isn't one to my knowledge Steve - I've been working from some jpgs of old catalogues to try and catalogue my giftware. You can see them at http://toysnz.com/sites/toysnz.com/file ... /index.php - click on any image to blow it up.

That's a great site Ian. Job well done, but as you say and I'm well aware of, from the number of items I have and I can't find illustrated anywhere, there are a lot of items or combinations of items you don't even know about.
That is where a personal log or picture catalogue such as Bob's is so valuable, particularly if it could be in a public domain like this forum and we could add our items that are of different combinations or not even catalogued anywhere.
We could also debate whether it's a genuine item or something that's been made up.

Cheers, Steve

The Chrome and Gold 'Models of Yesteryear' were part of the 'Giftware' range and started out being shown at the back of the pocket catalogues. They did however become so popular they had their own catalogues, flyers and leaflets etc and these will illustrate most of what was produced if you can get them!

The 'Models of Yesteryear' range is big enough to have its own section on this forum, but I think when Nick was starting it there was little interest and the early members did not have the models in their collections.

We do now seem to have members that show a lot of interest in these models, after all, they are classic examples of tooling expertise by Lesney.

Would members like to see the 'Yesteryears' given their own section.
