Ghosthunter collects these...

[YYS4BOB]

Ghosty, I thought I had a pretty good collection of yesteryear variations. I had no idea how many variations are available (80 for one model!!). Wish I could tap into your knowledge base. What is your go to guide? Cheers, Macdonald

I thought I was doing well with 37

Clearly he is the goto guide. Let's see. Maybe 100 Yesteryears with 80 variations each. 8000 variations!! How many left to go Ghosty! Try putting those variations in an electronic file!! Cheers, Macdonald

Those nine Y7 Rollers make a great display. I only have two in my collection (which isn't bad really as I don't collect Yesteryears!).




The gold on this has faded almost to silver, but it's a handy pen holder and wasn't exactly an expensive purchase at 30p.

Thank's Mac, yes, sounds like a very daunting task, but I believe I am the right side of my collection to class it as very comprehensive and the few variations I am chasing these Days I can keep in my head.

Thank's Fred, I wish I had paid 30p for all my 'Giftware' models, that is some bargain, it may be faded but looks complete and displays very well.

This can be found in several colours and marketed by a few companies including LUIS MARX from South Wales. The actual example pictured does not show any branding or logos on the base or packaging.

These were found in a carrier bag waiting for sorting and indexing to see which versions they are, so most have not been out of their box since new!
