Of Course You Like Old Cars....What About Old Toys?

Nice Stuff Guy's here's some of mine.....

 

My other collection....old school BMX bikes from the 70s and 80s. If you like that stuff, check out the BMXMuseum forum. I started with 1 and now have 13 and a garage full of parts. Yeah we even hunt nos parts....my chrome Niitaka is totally nos.

 

i prefer vintage slot cars i dont really think of them as toys though

my dads Cox BRM

His slot box built by my great grandfather


i have a small collection of redline hotwheels, lesney matchboxs, tootsie toys, and a shoco micro racer(sp). all is in storage though.

 

I posted my junk on the old house thread. Fun stuff everyone!

 

Slot cars are definitely toys; some of the coolest toys ever.

 

I have 1 slot car....probably my most prized toy. My Dad gave it to me ions ago. It's a little dirty.

 

thats cool, you know there old when the body is mounted with little screws

wish my grandparents didnt through away my dads monogram 55 chevy.
​

 

man ohh man!,that's really really cool!

 

here's a couple

 

one more

 

Nice stuff. the "Vintage BMX" stuff blows me away.......

 

My dad and I collect hot wheels and I have kept them from the first ones I got in 1969.I have found some that I had"customized" with krylon paint tha would be worth a couple of hundred bucks but that early paint experience is priceless.We got some tonkas and stuff also but not much.

 

This is a few of 7500 pcs gathered over 30 years.c

 

A couple more these are whats run over to the living room .c

 

Here is some of what clutters my office.

 

Along with some smaller plastic cars like I played with back in the 1950s,
I also like other period "stuff". Saved some engines plus some cars that
Dad had in the 50's on a big model railroad layout in our basement.

When I was a kid back in 1958 - they came out with the AMT model
customizing kits. The last pic shows my collection back then....most
of which I gave away in my college days, thinking I don't need
these any more.

 

Nice stuff everyone!! Jeez, I need to get a bigger house so I can get all of my stuff out of the garage and put it back on display shelves!!! Having two young kids now sort of took that away for awhile!!

 

You guys have some cool stuff! I love those old Nylint hot rods.

 

Mine are early toy race cars and hot rods -- tin, iron, steel, wood, die-cast, gas engined mites. Here are a few, but there are hundreds more:

 

I love hot rod toys and Structo trucks.
Hot Wheels and whatever else I find that is auto related.

 

Who makes this truck??
I have a similar one in the basement, been trying to figure out who makes it for years.

 

bunch of grown men playing with toys. how childish.

here's some scans of old photos. mine are all boxed up at the moment.


this is my front room about 15 years ago






3 are cast iron. the one on the right is rubber


shotgun is spring loaded. it will definitly put your eye out if you take the suction cup off the dart. pistols have caps, darts, or just click.


these are about 6-10" long


small scale... 4-6" long


Wyandotte Lasalle and trailer. 'bout 25" long. my favorite




this one is soooper rare. especially the touring version. comes in a roadster too. made by Marx

 

Hey,

The truck pictured was made by Tru-Scale/Carter Machine Company.

The one in the picture looks like a Tru-Scale "B" Series 10 wheel Innternational Dump Truck circa 1959.

Tru-Scale started with its' line of John Deere & International Harvester tractors and implements, and moved into doing International Harvester trucks from the 50s & 60s. Tru-Scale sold out to ERTL in the 70s.
Tru-Scale pieces always bring good money if they're in good condition!

Hey,

Wow! 49ratfink, one of the best collections of Marx and Wyandotte 30s & 40s pressed steel I've seen in a whyle! The LaSalle with the trailer, the "Touring" and the 30s Art Deco pieces are killer!

Anyone out there have a Turner "Lincoln" or a picture of one? these toy cars were built in the 20s, were about 26'' long and looked like a '26-'27 Lincoln Sedan automobile?

WOW..cool stuff

 

Hey Mazooma,

Love that "Tin Indian"! Those were originally made in post-war Japan. My buddy had one as a kid, sad to say I beleve it got "taken out" in the ''demo derby" we had in those days for all toys marked "Made In Japan"!
I see the tooling for that toy got sold to India, as I bought on at the Long Beach Swap Meet 15+years back.
Still a neat toy!

Dude...me, drunk and EBay is a bad combination. I've actually had "surprise" packages that I didn't remember ordering.
