The World of Diecast Cars

[CINDERS]

I have a pristine Corgi Mercedes Pullman in original box is also smiko with the instructions it still has the hood ornament attached which ultimately gets snapped off on allot of them, it belonged to my dad and I was never allowed to touch it.
I have some of his other ones small ones in boxes that appear to be like trunks think they are French made, the circa of the cars they are depicting are I think around the 20-30's.

I still have my slot car and controller from when I was racing it a Ruskit Chaparral 2D around the time when the sidewinder motor placement came in they were so much faster.
So much fun with the toy soldiers and a bag of marbles out my back yard when a child pity the grey soldiers always lost to the green ones, then making billy carts with my friends remember losing lots of bark with the resultant prangs and failures but heck you could be a child back then.
Now its a case of prying their fingers from an I-Pad or comp screen I said to my son a while ago future generations of children will have fingers 2" long and thumbs 5" long due to to much X-Box and Nintendo gaming and so on....
So glad I grew up in the era I did when kids could be kids with the streets being relatively safe.
