The Little Wheels Website
(Continued.....)
Yesterday, I added the first post about the Little Wheels company.
The owner Andrew has spent a lot of time and hard word to build his
wonderful website and business. The business started in 2016, and Andrew's website has more than 10,000 web pages since he began. On his site, Andrew also also has TV & Movie models.
The main toys on his site are Dinky, Corgi, and Matchbox,
all of which are small-sized toy.
The image below is a screen-capture of the
Little Wheels Museum
The 3 rows of toys are the different manufacturers that can be found in the "Museum"
Below:
The screen-capture shows the different toys that are bought and sold.
This website is most unique, and besides toys for sale,
this site really is a "museum" and a "library" that has catalogued
1000's of beautiful "Little Wheels (small-sized toys).
The image below shows you all of the different toys
and companies that made the toys.
Below:
When I clicked on the top Dinky Toys green racing car, I opened up a new window. The screen-capture shows the 6 different categories of different categories of small toys that were made by the Dinky Toy Company. When you click on any one of the 6 categories, you are redirected to all of
the toys in that category.
I clicked on green "Dinky Cars England", in the above photo,
and once again, I was redirected to another page.
Below:
The page below shows you part of the many Dinky cars
that were made. There are lots and lots of
photos and descriptions, and I can't even imagine
how much time Andrew spent building up this exceptional reference
"library"
Below:
The image below is what showed up when I clicked on the first car above.
That car is described as:
Dinky Toys 24g; Sports Tourer, 4-Seater; Grey, Red Chassis
Andrew has a very keen eye, lots of experience, and knowledge.
If you read the description below, you'll read that he examined
the paint of the toy, and
"it had been repainted to a non-catalogue colour."
To know that tells you that Andrew's experience,
reference catalogues, and knowledge helped to identify
the "repaint" on this toy.
Below:
When you click on any of the 7 photos above. that image will enlarge
to allow you to see the car much better,
especially small details, as well as the condition of the car.
Also, there is a ruler that shows toy the length of the car.
Albeit the ruler is in the English Measure,
you can multiply the number of inches x 2.54
(1" = 2.54 cm)
and get the length in the Metric Measure.
The ruler shows the length of the car is 9 inches (9")
9" x 2.54 cm = 22.76 cm ( rounded off to 22.75 cm
So that's all for today.
I hope I've "perked your interest" to visit Andrew's website. This site was
created with a lot of hard word and I'm sure a hardy interest in learning
about the toys that Andrew buys and sells.
Thank you for dropping by for a visit.
and as always,
have a great parts of the morning, afternoon, or evening,
wherever you may be.
