Models of Yesteryear

Models of Yesteryear were introduced in 1956, recreating in miniature the history of transport. Few survived from the early series making them highly sought after especially if the toy is in perfect condition with its original box.

The first series were accurately finished but when the second series appeared some models featured strange and unrealistic paint finishes, something that infuriated collectors.

Some collectors will track down every vehicle in the range. Some models will have different wheels, or the colour or number of spokes or treads in a wheel will be different. Steering wheel, chassis, body, seat or label colours might vary.
