I went to a sale this morning, the ad hinted at old toys and a sale I got up early to attend yesterday was a let down. I was first, and I got a few things:
First, these old boxed metal farm figures. I guess they are lead? But still, diecast. And they were cheap:
Nice 1920s Arcade cast iron McCormick-Deering thresher - this has some value, I will probably ebay it, as it is outside of my collecting realm:
Arcade cast iron truck and trailer/bus to commemorate the 1933 World’s Fair:
Some detailed hard rubber cars from the 30s, and a small 30s slush mold (likely Barclay) car - I was happy to find the 35 Ford 3-window, and couldn’t pass up the pair of different scale Oldsmobiles and the streamlined truck:
Cardboard and wood box/holder thing shaped like a car, probably from 1920 at the latest . Odd, but it was free, I think:
And something more modern, a Franklin Mint 300SL gullwing, from 1987. It’s boxed, I couldn’t pass it up - closer examination shows that higher quality diecast have improved a bit in the past 30 years, some little details are a little iffy:
One cool thing is that the doors are hinged with something like struts - I will probably sell this too:
That is all.
