Spot the gem

A very cheap lot. I think there's only one good one here.

I have flipped the image over for you!

And I've put the original image back, because that's how it was on eBay and that's part of the fun of this!

High-pin 42c Iron Fairy Crane.
Definitely an HTF. Well done!

How cheap is very cheap? - my last high pin was circa £50 and I was glad to get it at this price and yours looks to be in much better condition!

Great find - congratulations

You don't see many purple and yellow 24c's either...

it's yours if you want it! Fortunately it's nothing special, I think.

I don't know if I dare tell you - under £12 including postage. I don't think it's really better than yours.

I've spotted some casting differences beyond the obvious pin location - I'll put them in the missing variations section tomorrow.

Call that cheap? Pah! Mine was £2 from a stall at Fairport Convention's Cropredy Festival one year!

My best ever bargain - Lone Star Roadmaster Dodge Dart in very good condition with good box - 99p with free postage!

Not sure if the seller made much of a profit!

#24c looks to have hubs with seperate tyres and all parts of the tow guide so will be a late issue. The only detail that would make this a worthwhile addition to a collection is if it had the larger diameter tyres, something diffcult to see on a single model and in a condition well past the 'Best Before' date.

I suggest you keep it until further notice

oh, very good find, but I bet you didn't get a black Corsair, purple Mercedes and rainbow Rolls Royce thrown in free!

I have no doubt that these turn up unnoticed at toy fairs from time to time. Many dealers spot the obvious rarities but miss the less well-known, and there really aren't very many of these around, though Reg found two in the same lot!
