Sunny and hot
22° C / 71.6° F
An Exceptional Group
of Old Meccano Airplanes
I was browsing for toys on LiveAuctioneers, when I came across a wonderful grouping of old Meccano airplanes.These beautiful planes will be part of a Milestone Auctions auction on LiveAuctioneers. That auction will start on August 24, 2024.
There is a nice grouping of toys, but my attention was focussed on the Meccano toys, with most of the listings of finished toys (no kits shown). I'm partial to Meccano, because that's how I started my blog, some 14 years ago!

I'm saddened when someone sells a collection that they have amassed over many years. On the other hand, these toys will find their ways into many different homes, and will again be enjoyed over time.
That's what collecting is all about!
So that's it for today.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and as always,
have a great part of the morning, afternoon, or evening, wherever
you may be.
