Ran across this cool historical piece that's currently up for auction. It's a set of factory reference boards for CSV 17 and 18 and BRK 190 and 191. The seller picked it up in 2023 when Brooklin moved their manufacturing.

Those are very neat items to obtain ! Pretty cool.

It's a great part of history! May be if you keep them, it will be wonderful for future museum!

Interesting board Randy. I imagine it would only be of interest to someone with an extensive Brooklin collection or for an addition to a museum display. I have similar items from the Matchbox Yesteryear series and know that these currently are not of high value to the general collector public.

Yes, I was disappointed when I missed them all on ebay last year when the factory sold off a bunch (for a very cheap price, I felt). I captured them all and stuck them on hobbydb for posterity! [edited]

@david-green I know what you mean! When I first learned of the blown apart shadow boxes from Matchbox MOY, I just had to have them. In the process, I probably paid twice what they're worth today (unfortunately). Still, they're neat pieces but hold little value - much like most of my MOYs.

@karl I'm not able to locate these from this link. It's showing a bunch of action figures.

@whodeytink And yet, no one bid on it. But it has been relisted at a lower price. For those of us in the US, the shipping charge is a deal breaker. It's almost as much as the asking price.

@randyrusk Sorry, the raw link was too long for Forum43. Try this: Brooklin Boards

@randyrusk Saw that. Yes the delivery price is really high. I'm surprised someone in Europe didn't buy it since the shipping would have been cheaper for them, maybe.
