A Return Visit to another

Excellent ebay Seller

If you are a regular visitor to my website, you'll know that recently, I've been

visiting people and companies and seeing how they're doing. The way I've done this is by looking at old posts, and selecting from there. I've been blogging for more that 14 years , and wow, how the time flies!

When I revisited Mr. Hardy Littleton, the owner of stripe4107,

he had a great selection of Meccano toys for sale.

But the one toy that caught my attention was a French Meccano toy racer.

You don't see this particular toy very often, so it was nice to see this racer.

The description was as follows:

1930's French Meccano Red Boat Tail Race Car Model Kit 14"

So that's another post. Have a visit to Hardy Littleton's ebay store, 

because there are a lot of interesting toys for sale there.

So thanks for visiting my blog, and as always,

please feel free to write me if you have any questions, 

or would like to volunteer to have me write a post for you.

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!

Width: 20" (50.8 cm) wingspan x 18" (45.7 cm) length

If you take a look at this auction, you'll see plenty of nice finished Meccano airplanes, as well as a fabulous collection of Schuco toys.

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.
