This collection represents a lifelong deep appreciation of Dinky Toys, Britains models, Minic models and more primarily from the 1940’s & 50’s. All British made diecast and tinplate models. Proceeds going to charities close to his heart.

A scarce set that gives the impression of old shop stock. Wonderfully detailed figures all still strung to the virtually perfect, fresh lemon-cream card inner. Virtually mint – mint figures that do not ever appear to have been removed from the box. Doctor, 2 Orderlies and 2 Stretcher Parties with Patients in battledress, 2 Nurses, 2 Nurses in khaki dress and a Female Driver.
