vintage toys

Wow, the original package! Great find. Funny how we all thought glass roofs were the wave of the future!

 

Today's flea market finds
From left to right
-- Bentley Continental Sports Saloon by Corgi (circa 1960)
-- DUKW by Matchbox Lesney (circa 1958)
-- Hot Wheels Royal Flash (circa 1979)

 

I think I have the Royal Flash with a different paint scheme.

 

I thought some of you would enjoy this! http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/tarrago.htm The man is a true artist!

 

Do they run?

 

This one does.

Nice!

 

I have seen miniaturized engines before so why not?

 

A red Mercedes GP car, pretty unusual! It kind of looks like the Great Ones Car, Juan Manuel Fangio! Note the short sleeved polo shirt and cork helmet. [video=youtube;L7Ifcgl789E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Ifcgl789E[/video]

 

Got it on Craigslist with a bunch of Corgis and other diecast models.

 

You sorted through the junk eh?

 

I forgot, Saturday, I ended up at the lake front, when I saw a yard sale sign, Hot Wheels. I kept going, it was stop and go traffic, real slow, but the sign got the better of me! One way street so I had to go way back around since it's one big block. I parked illegal, since it was the motorcycle I was all right. I asked if he had the Snake & Mongoose, you would know, he sold them the week before! Then I asked if he had the SoCal Belly Tank car, He didn't know what that was, almost left. I decided to go through some, and picked these up. The Batmobile, Talbot Lago, GT40, 427 Cobra S/C, and whats a Cobra without a Ferrari? I am pretty sure non of them are very valuable, maybe VC will chime in. Great price, so I have a small collection now!

 

Still in the package---nice.

 

I kind of hope they are worthless, that way, I will get to rekindle my youth, by ripping open the package! I supose I could do this, but. it seems so dishonest! :eusa_doh: [video=youtube;z7M_WrLADM8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7M_WrLADM8[/video]

The Batmobile is fairly new but highly collectible and the Talbot Lago is from about 1996. I wouldnt open that one.

Thanks V.C., I knew you would come threw! That's what I like about this group. I think I will leave them all for now! I got the whole lot for $15.00, so I guise I done good?
