I think these are the counter top displays if I am correct Jim, I had one some years ago that from memory looked very like the 3 you show here. Mine had sliding rear doors and shelves that the boxes for the models could be stored on, thanks for showing these.

As above, amazing collection Jim, you'll never get bored with nothing to do!

Perhaps once I get things a little more in order. Still not organized. I think I am at least 2 years away from being settled in. Maybe if you are here apart from the Gathering, I can give you a tour.

Jim, I would love to find that Canadian blue banner Matchbox display (1967 ?) which you show in the background.
You have Convoys in it.
If you ever have to little space for it just let me know and I try make it complete with the period models....
