My toy collectors club meet at my home tonight, and here are the 1:43 models that caught them. (pic)
All of us collect toys, models, and other such items, with a couple most interested in older trains, several more interested in toys of 75 years ago or more, one in large steel vehicles of the 20's and 30's, and so forth; but all of us share an interest in learning more. It makes for a good evening.
Our membership in attendance varies from 6 to 12, with guests not uncommon. We meet in each other's homes, have dinner, and then examine a collection or part of it. It's strictly informal, with no dues, officers, or "good deeds." Our informal rules say no discussion of politics, religion, or wives/ significant others. It has worked since 1991.
I encourage all of you without such a group to start seeking out kindred souls. It adds to the pleasures of collecting.
And here's another part of my collection that created interest. Anyone recognize these? They are all unrestored wooden toys made during WW II. I can remember having some just like a couple of them.
I bid you a good evening. Next to my toy club, Forum 43 has helped me in building my collection and my understanding of it. Thank you all.
