There is an annual Steam Rally near us and they have auto jumble stalls. I always look, there's always the chance of finding a switch or light used in a 70's or 80's prop!
prop parts! fabulous Kev! I found a few old toys at the at the last Scammel gathering , which I'll blog soon. Wish I could afford one of the real cars like a Ford Mustang!
For toy collectors in Finland, autojumble ("rompetori") is the place to be. Hundreds of them during the year, mostly car parts and rescued vehicles but almost always toys (also other than cars only) as well. The basic mode of grassroots toy collecting.

ReplyDeleteThats fantastic insight into Finnish collecting Arto. I picked up two vintage star wars figures and an old spaceship of some interest.
