That's a great one Jason, I like it very much. Dick would have loved it.

That´s a great one. Looks like a early version of a Head-up sight.

Yes I really love it, you can imagine some kid opening it and thinking what is that in front of the windscreen and putting it back in the box.J

Amazing to see the large Scammell Scarab!

Does the casting include a makers mark or name on the base? Or perhaps the tooling and machining is consistent with Lesney processes.
Is there a chance it could have been made by someone other than Lesney?
From what I’ve read, it sounds like there was a fair bit of copying from competitors in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

Thanks for sharing.

Black base too!

Yes the base has no "PAT APP" as well, I feel its probably a prepro or very very early in production.
