spot the gem,?, this lot i was very excited in getting,there would be a handful of members which would share /get my excitment so maybe not a gem for everyone(this is a clue),for the matchbox guys there is a fairly diresiable item in there and to help everyone its not the huge tinplate falcon (its the biggest tinplate car i have ever seen at 19 inches long)
makers name and model for answers plus any info on the tinplate car which i guess is spanish please.

My guess:

Green Rag and Bone Cart. Also looks like the driver for it is riding the tractor on the other side of the box.

WOW That would be a find! ,and there is a cart top right but thats either crescent or britains,but just above that is a diecast marx lumar cab which is in the moko pale green cart colour so i can see what you were thinking,the driver is to the dinky massey harris and is smaller than the moko cart/milk driver

The Blue Dinky Toys 'Thunderbird 2' is very desirable and just near the front of it is an 'Antiques Casting' novelty Rolls-Royce pencil sharpener, like this one...
...and of course like most models there are many versions of this for the avid collector.

Nice find, well spotted! The rag and bone cart isn't something I collect myself, but I can truly appreciate your excitement.

That tinplate fire care is a beauty! It's a Ford Galaxie, made by Rico of Spain. You'll have to test if the wailing siren is still working!

There's a truck in the bottom left with a label on the back that looks like Robin Hood? There's one the same in white on a 3 figure ebay 'Buy It Now' and I've never seen another. They don't look like the TP Series examples I've shown. If I'm right can we get a close up please?

Just realised yours looks as if it's clockwork?
Here's the ebay link, the nose is a bit squarer and the body looks one piece rather than the two piece TP Series. Must admit I've not looked too closely at the ebay listing before - don't think my entire collection owes me £128.50

'ROBIN HOOD' branded versions were available with a clockwork motor and I agree with the view that this is the version in the corner of the basket above.
