Re: spot the couple of gems
Nice lot Dave..Not going to guess as my variation skills on Matchbox are not that good...
Heres the man with the bargains.Always open to offers from this sites members..http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/misterpop/m.h ... m=&_ipg=25
Re: spot the couple of gems
That’s a lovely lot. The GPW tanker is obvious (too obvious?). The Rentaset van in the second picture looks to have grey wheels too. Is the 35c Merryweather the version without the sill?

Re: spot the couple of gems
You picked the three that made me bid on this lot, on saturday i made it from work with about 5 minutes to spare to bid ,won it,and luckily for me my wife was visting relatives in the city where the auction was and a quick phone text and she picked them up for me ,somehow she ended up with a new coatDrJeep wrote:That’s a lovely lot.

The tanker was the main gem and i have given it a wipe to remove some of the ingrained dust ,but its in excellent condition,the fire engine is the half sill version again this i would say is near mint,the rentaset ,is in very good condition,needs a clean and has the tvs,unusually for a loose model but has the standard black wheels.

Re: spot the couple of gems
Those are really nice. The grey-wheeled Bedford is a brilliant find. I think the Merryweather with the half sill is pretty scarce - maybe even less common than the version without the sill? I think there have been no more than three or four with the half sill shown here - Jason's, Dan's, mine (not nearly as nice as yours) and now yours.
Re: spot the couple of gems
The Bedford is a beauty Dave, well done! I do have a non-sill and also a half sill Merryweather, but way below the standard of yours

There's nothing regular about wheels

Re: spot the couple of gems
sorry, John - I think I knew you had the half-sill model too, so I shouldn't have missed you from the list! Still not very many, though.

Orange with orange hub gray wheel Hatra Tractor Shovel is nice.
