I have around 1000 diecast F1 and Ferrrai cars (1/87, 1/64, 1/43, 1/24, and 1/18).

I have a small growing collection of very early woodwind instruments -- but more relevant to our hobby, I have been collecting minty-mint Dinky Toys (w/boxes) -- the ones I busted up as a kid -- and the ones I always WANTED. The costs of Dinky Toys are through the roof today and I haven't seen too many Dinky Halifaxes lately (Whitley, yes, Halifax, no). Anyhow, below is a very small section of my collection.



I also have an enormous collection of Canadian Pacific Airlines paraphernalia from the late 50s/early 60s. My prize though is a china CPA 'goose logo' 3D ashtray (never used), rare as rocking horse turds, and bought from a guy who worked at my hometown airport where he liberated it from when CPA ceased service. I got it for next to nothing. (YES!)

My hat is off to you Skunky for routinely breaking me up with some of the more original comments!

No that is a nice looking collection. I can remember having a few of those when I was a kid. I really remember the little plastic ones the best. I seem to remember them coming in a decent size bag, and having a pretty good variety. The Me 163 was one of my favorites, still have a few of them packed away in closet.

Well thank you! The little soft-plastic coloured ones I had a veritable sack of, but gave most of them to my Brother (after raiding my prefs!!) some time back. Yup -- I think we pretty much all had some of them. I've got that Me262 in the 'reserve bag' some place!

Just a side note: The Corgi Concorde in BOAC livery on the bottom shelf was scooped SO NEW (NOSS) that I was the first to take the elastic band off the inner wraps and undo the tightly wrapped tissue paper. THAT gave me great delight for a model from 1968. (I also got it for a very sweet price.)
