A New Visit to TinToyCar




It's always nice to revisit the websites and people who have helped 
me with my blog over the years. Mr. Javier Hernández is one of the many 
people who have assisted me to write about toys. As time has gone by, I
have watched how his business has continued and blossomed. Also,
the overall website has become better and better. The photo has
always been excellent, but now I've noticed many more photos.

I also noticed that he's set a place on his website whereby people from
around the world can communicate with him in English, Chinese,
Denmark, The Netherlands, France.and The Czech Republic.

 Not only are there many different categories of toys such as
Cars, Robots, Space Toys,  Motorcycles, Others, and Projects and Customs,
but each of the categories has sub-divisions.

As an example, the Motorcycle division is sub-divided into 
Battery-Operated, Friction, Parts, and Windup.

It's nice to see how his business has matured and expanded.

The toy that I selected for this post is a

TippCo. Western Germany 50's Scooter Bella Friction
8.25 inches ( 21 cm) original Tin Toy Motorcycle

There was a lot more written details about the toy, and its' condition,
so if you are interested, just visit Javier's website, and you'll
be  able to read more about this toy. 

Also, I also observed that Javier provides a lot
of information, including any scratches or damage
that might be on a toy. 

That's good business practise to  do.

He's also added a short video of the toy moving around.







So that's it for today. 
Take a look at Javier's website. 
Theres lots on interesting toys, and you'll learn by
a visit to his site.

If you're ever interested to have me write a blog post for you,
by all means, please write. I'll also tell youwhat size photos to submit, 
as well as how to light the toys to show the best detail , and
to present the toy in its' best views.

Thank you for visiting my website blog, and as always,
have a great part of the day or night, wherever you may be.

My name is (Mr.) Stacey Bindman and I can always be reached at

A Reader asks about a Gong Bell

A Reader Asks About A Gong Bell Cart

I received an interesting e-mail from a reader this week. It was an inquiry about a 
Gong Bell Pull Cart. I couldn't help the reader who has a very interesting moniker (nickname) "RadioReporter".

The reader  sent me some nice photos of a Gong Bell Garden Cart # 260. I did some searching, but couldn't find any information on the nice cart from the 1950's.  I hadn't realized that Gong Bell had made such large-sized toys, and so "now I know".

He's placed a long steel ruler in the photos, so that should tell you 
the approximate size of this fine discovery.



I can't believe how this toy from the 1950's (70++ years) has
kept its' beautiful colours (colors in American spelling) for so long.

Sometimes you have great luck with finding something, 
and RadioReporter most certainly found a great discovery!

So that's it on this bright sunny day.

Thanks for dropping by, and as always, 
please feel free to write to me with any questions.

Better still, if you would like me to write a blog post for you, please 
write to me. I'll tell you what size photos work bet for a blog, 
and ask you for the size dimensions of the toy.
