We had a stall at a large local German car boot sale, a Flohmarkt, this morning in our continuing bid to empty my Wife's parents' full apartment.
We did OK and aim to do at least three more whilst we are here, though we have enough stuff for at around ten more sales! At 92, my Father in Law had accumulated a lot of things and never threw anything away!
I managed a wander round too and bagged two old Hot Wheels, an unusual 1998 motorised one and a blue 1979 Corvette Stingray.
Amongst the vast quantities of Playmobil, Some of the other toys I saw included these (photos from the net). All quite dear.
Lehman RIGI boxed cable cars.
A GAMA shell petrol station.
A GAMA mobile crane.
Did you or do you have any of these?
I had the cable car
ReplyDeleteThe tension in the cable proved too much one day. The ensuing carnage needed the help of International Rescue!
Ha ha! High tension all round Kev!
DeleteWonder if they were around when Thunderbirds was being made. Perfect prop cable car!
DeleteHot wheels XV racers. The successors to the sizzlers line. The one you have was called "Sting".
ReplyDeleteThanks! Never seen them before.
DeleteGreat to hear that the Flohmarkt day went well for you.
ReplyDeleteThe petrol station was cloned by a Finnish toy manufacturer Hihra in the 1950's

Thanks Arto. Wir sind die Troedelmarkte Meistern!
DeleteI thought the garage was from the Fifties. It had that look. That Finna Fi site is great! I bet you've got most of the stuff on there!
Finna is a joint database of our most important museums, libraries, and archives.
DeleteTry searching Finna with "lelu" or "leikkikalu", then limit the results to objects (esine).
Will do.
