2014 was another great year on Ebay for collectors for SWORD, SpaceX, Century 21 toys and friends. Here is a run down of some of my favourites, which appeared on the Bay during the last 12 months.
First up are these beautiful boxed Century 21 Toys, which all unusually carry the factory label on the box front. Seller Toymart very kindly sent me close-ups for the blog. If you have any idea what the abbreviation son the labels mean then do get in touch.
Toymart told me that the toys came from an old gentleman who used to be toy wholesaler and who had 2 toy shops himself. When he closed the business he put all the remaining stock in his garage and left it there for 40 years, which Toymart bought.
I also loved these NOVA rockets, which were unusual on two counts. They are carded and were released by Durham rather than Tarheel.
I also loved this boxed Moon Base set by Hover, which eagle-eyed Arto spotted in February. Wonder who won it? Its a beautiful and complete glider in there.
What did you notice of interest on Ebay this year readers?
Apart from some own acquisitions, most significantly an unproduced boxed sample of Mattel Space: 1999 Crew Set (bottom of page)
