What better to do on a wet saturday morning with money in my pocket,when the wife away visiting family........
I didnt expect to find much but in fact there was quality for less than ebay prices:thumbsup:this whole bunch, including diesel and admission cost me 500krone which is $100 at todays rates
Finding Ironside still sitting in his chair is a first for me,and I expect selling off my 2 poorer examples will pay for this beauty (who remembers TV´s Ironside ???- all I remember is that it was a Quinn Martin production:freak: and the real truck was army olive with a blue stripe)
But my favourite of this bunch is the Walls Icecream truck - i dont collect such small scale but this is so charming (even with finger grease worn decals!) that I will find space for it in my new Lesney cabinet which I am renovating to take all my Lesneys without overcrowding.... The Pickfords (gpw) & Milkfloat(spw with very lightly tinted green windows) are upgrades,the J2 (gpw) replaces my childhood repainted example
All in all a morning of blessings which put me in fine spirits with fair prices for everybody , ready for an afternoon of work..........:) and an evening of sorting out $100 of cars to sell now that I have agreed to sell at least as much as I add........

The Ironside truck is a Corgi Junior from 1971, of all the castings from the 1960s and 1970s this one was used the least, and it is htf in any condition (this is my 4th and the only one in good shape -I am tempted to repaint the really poor one olive...)

i missed out on an epay auction for a pickford bus/van/truck like that one, it didnt sell either opening bid was 5.99..........i just liked it, is that a good price? probably $5 shipping also
