From My Collection - A Look Back... Monday 7/18/22

When the 1:24 Precision Scale model market came to an end in 2014, I went seeking other ways to satisfy my collecting needs. That led me discover all that was available in the 1:43 scale arena. One of the 1st groups I looked into was Brooklin Models. I had seen many of these in photos from other collectors, but never any in person. The first one I found that was really interesting was a '55 Lincoln sedan while searching eBay. Along with that model I also found a '54 DeSoto hardtop and this very nice '35 Pierce-Arrow. The Pierce-Arrow marque has always fascinated me and up to then, I only had the one from DM in 1:24 as well as another in 1:18. This '35 PA was a unique model that I had to have. Those first three Brooklin models were just the beginning to a very busy road of 1:43 scale model offerings that is still loaded with plenty of choices.

A companion to this excellent model is another '35 PA that I happened across, it was a color sample that was in the Dick Browne Collection. This was another incredible model and one that I had to have.
