Being an enthusiast of all things TV, Film and general broadcasting, I always wanted those TV models. The nearest I got to having any of them was the Corgi 'Samulson's' Commer filming Van.
So nice to see them being enjoyed by Todays collectors, very pleased you have them Dave and thank's for posting them.

Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions
I've been looking for a last edition Ford 40 RV in darker blue for ages, but with no luck. A very lucky find especially as in such good condition
Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions
Yes, a great find, I wasn't expecting to get at reserve. I thought someone would be keen, but I picked up both the Fords for 40 quid and the seller only lived 6kms away so I was stoked.Bako wrote:I've been looking for a last edition Ford 40 RV in darker blue for ages, but with no luck.

Images below are of another lot I just picked up. Images were limited to these and I can tell some have been repainted as the axle ends are green. How many and how well is the punt I took, seller listed twice over two weeks with limited interest and basically almost halved his initial asking price when he sent out a fixed price offer after the second weeks listing expired with no bids.
22g tank in the bottom left corner of the 1st two photos has me intrigued, original or copy. Both searchlight trucks seem to be repainted post war models because of the ridged hubs. Austin with window frame, Canteen and water tanker all likely prewar, but repainted? Multiple figures and motorcycles an added bonus. I couldn't pass up the opportunity! More photo's in a couple of days once they have arrived.
Cheers
Dave

Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions
A mixture of local bought Swap Meet and US Dublo bulk lot are the new models this week.
Firstly the swap meet finds:
36b Bentley
39e Chrysler Royal Sedan
39b Oldsmobile 6 Sedan
40j Austin Somerset
40b Triumph 1800 Saloon
Copy Chrysler Airflow
Hawker Hurricane
Ford GT40
Bedford Tipper
Dublo Austin Lorry
I've been on the look out for Dublo Dinky models I didn't have and got lucky completing 4 gaps with one lot of six dinky models.
The 4 I didn't have:
Austin taxi
Commer Van
Tractor
Austin Lorry with Black wheels
The non Dublo model in the lot is a RAC Motorbike and Sidecar. This one I also didn't have so whilst the condition isn't the best it will do until another one comes along.
Cheers

Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions
I've managed to pick up several further lots from a NZ seller who is liquidating his uncles extensive collection, various items of which i have picked up over the last couple of years.
This weeks lots are repaints (which i may strip and redo)
Humber Hawk
2 X Hudson Hornet
Ford Fordor
Austin A105
A diverse military lot, first several Russian vehicles
British production Canon
Dinky Speedwheels Scout Car
Tinplate Howitzer with diecast barrel.
Finally the reason I bought these lots was this little lot of Original and repainted Tekno Ford V8's, Scania and tractor.
Ford V8 Esso Tanker
Ford Tow Truck, tin wheels and missing one hub cap.....Anyone have one in their spares pile I can acquire????
Ford Cement mixer
Flat Truck
Tractor and Plow
Scania Articulated Truck. Average repaint
Finally a taster of some items which will complement some of the military items a couple of posts back....two pre-war, circa 80 year old, Dinky gift set boxes.
More pics when these arrive.

Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions
Even though I don't collect Dinky, I find this a fascinating, informative, and educational thread. (Lord Reith would approve!)
Thank you for taking the trouble to make and upload these photographs of your latest additions on such a regular basis.

That will be Tony who has slowly been selling Maurice Wooley's collection. I've got a few pieces myself... sadly I never got to see Maurice's collection although I have a photo somewhere of him in his model room... a here it is!RSSierra wrote:I've managed to pick up several further lots from a NZ seller who is liquidating his uncles extensive collection, various items of which i have picked up over the last couple of years.
