Here are some of my photo albums that have lots of interesting photos in them. I never get tired of looking at the photos and always seem to spot something new each time I go through them. Some you will have seen before but a lot you probably have never seen.
These photo's are just a random selection of some of the pages in the album.
I hope you enjoy them.

As you can imagine there are loads more photos to show so if there proves to be enough interest in this thread I'll post some more photos when I get time.

Steve
great stuff and I'm booking my ticket to NZ ! On the last two photos - what are the displays and in the row of the 3 vans what is the last one ??

Hi Mick,
Thanks for your interest in the photo's.
The left hand side display in the last photo is for a Christmas catalogue produced in the mid 60's.
The right hand side photo shows some Yesteryears that I hoped you or Bob can shed some light on!

Have you invited Mick for the swapmeet Steve?!

Steve these albums are amazing. I would love to see more of the factory worker images in close up if you could manage that, i think they could merit a separate thread in their own right.

Have seen some of these before. Ref the 3rd van in the last picture, could it be a commemorative proposal? Silhouettes could be Charles & Diana??. Cydrax & Weetabix I've seen before. May have been in Barry Scott's sales.

As a lot of those pictures were intended for press and catalogue use, they will be copyright free, so it would be nice to have them scanned properly, then some reduced size versions posted to the forum.

Taniwha,
No I haven't invited Mick to the Wellington Toy and Die Cast Fair on the 19th of June 2016.
He is welcome to come as I know a couple of his Aussie mates are coming over for it. If he did come over I'd be worried all the New Zealand Yesteryears would be residing over the ditch!


Motorman,
You can see some of the factory workers photo's on Mick's web site. I sent them to him years ago.

Ghosty,
There are heaps of photo's. It would take me years to scan them all. You really need to come over to New Zealand if you want to see them all.

...OK, there's a Bus just across the road from me at 9.00pm tonight, I'll be on it...
