The Very Best of 2017

[Idris]

No 'End of Year Poll' this year I'm afraid. Instead, Members are welcome to use this thread to show their two most significant finds/acquisition of 2017 to the Forum. (Please keep it to only two since this will help to maintain quality and also prevent the thread from becoming overly long.)

For those members who are not familiar with some of the models to be seen here, can members add a short description with their Two finds, as to why they are stand out models, thank's.

I don’t have much to show for 2017 however I was pleased to add these two.

[YYS4BOB]

Probably the only YY's to appear here. My highlights of the year are the Vauxhall as it's unlikely I''l find an earlier casting.





And the Goblet with Spyker because it took me nearly 40 years to find one.

[GHOSTHUNTER]

Bob's Vauxhall, they certainly don't come much earlier than that and is a real treasure for anyone collecting 'Yesteryears' or Vauxhall toys and models.

The 'Yesteryears' in those goblets seem to have only been marketed in the U.S. so are very hard to find. The inscription seems to say 'Loyal NYC' (New York City).

Both nice models Al and both hard to find, coincidently I also found a Ford Group 6 with yellow base.
