We had a shop here in town that used to sell toys of the past, It was called Freddies Teddies and was in business for many years, sadly it closed down about a year and a half ago and was a huge loss to collectors of old toys and new, they had thousands of differing models to gaze upon with toys from any manufacturer you could possibly imagine...I had a love hate relationship with going there, I would love to go, but hated it because I would spend 3/4s of my day in there - HUNTING !!!

Here is a neat little toy, that I dug out of the abyss of my favorite toy store of the past - a neat little Rolls Royce with Silver Plastic wheels, this one set me back 28.00, a neat find on a somewhat hard to find model of the past.

Great looking model. The box is perfect.

Here's mine, no box and the roof paint is kind of swirly ...
