Visited two Yorkshire car boots and a charity shop this morning. We got tons of stuff for the Grandkids but not much for the vintage collectables stash.
Here's what I picked up, not all vintage but all cheap and cheerful.
Left to right:
CORPS helicopter 2001 for my figures; 3 x Calgary Canada plastic mountie hat badges, ideal for replacement Action Man mountie hats!; 3 plastic bodied Hot Wheels and a nice red and white Corgi; Pokemon set of Sun and Moon cards for Junior and a Hornby loco for Junior too - his first.
The cabinet is Missus Moonbases for stripping.
I also saw this in the charity shop, a vintage Salton Hotray. Remember those, for people without a butler so plated food could be kept hot somewhere near the dining table!
A true slice of retro that! Something you would buy readers?
I also an old Russell Hobbs clock lamp. You could programme the lamp to go on and off at certain times in the bedroom! Reminded me of my Mum and Dad's Goblin Teas Maid! Was there either of these at home readers?
I do not recall ever seeing a Teas Maid in NZ, it was something exotic you only saw on British TV programmes.
ReplyDeleteHard to tell with the hat in the cockpit, but is that the Blue Thunder helicopter ? No weapons pylons, but the nose shape looks familiar.
Unsure of its Blue Thunder Paul. Its a chopper from 1994 for the lanard CORPS! soldier range.
DeleteI'd hold off on the Hornby loco, despite its missing front bogie, could be worth a few quid. Also, the whhels probably wont go round well and it will end up getting damaged. Bill
