Dinky Toys 24c : Bright Lights, Big City


having already a copy of a Royal blue Town Coupé, I considered skipping this one at an auction recently. There was a few other very interesting models and as the prices were going a bit high, to make sure I'd be able to purchase those other models, I left this one.
After all it only was the same model with different grille and hubs, wasn't it ?

Dinky Toys 24g : On the other side


Living in France should have allowing me to get many incredible pre-war French Dinkies... Well I don't know if there were much more models made on the other side of the Channel, but during those past years I came accross many top British models for so few french ones.

They are so hard to get in near perfect condition that I quickly quit trying to collect them, for the benefit of their Liverpudlian counterparts.

A few months ago I've been involved in a long deal with a very long time collector, I had some very special pre-war French Plaster & Flour and Lead models, and part of that exchange was this incredible French 24g Four seater tourer finished in grey over deep red chassis.

Dinky Toys 24c : From Town to the City

It's really been a very very long time since I didn't had the time to write anything on that blog. So much has happened in those few years... In fact I had to sell my whole collection and finally became a vintage toys professional dealer, which is cool but when I have to sell pre-war models...
I recently had the chance to come accross some wonderful Dinkies that I'm glad to present here.
