Wonderful John! I have the videos but have not seen them for years. Great to see that you have digitalized them.
I knew John Hall back at the beginning being a 1973-4 member of the Canadian Toy Collectors Society. John was a member and shared all the early issues with us. We got together in Toronto and on one occasion at his house in Brooklin.
I did own a resin blue and grey Pierce Arrow for a number of years, parting with it to a US Collector in the late 1980s. John Hall says he only made a few but I remember at least four at one our meetings, all blue and grey. I also acquired an early white metal version with a resin base. John shared colour variations of other early models at our CTCS club meetings in Toronto and I bought at least one each month. John charged us $12 to $18 each for these back in the 1970s. Unfortunately, I parted with all mine in my quest for Pocher models and collector issues. At this point, I wish that I had kept a few.

I started collecting Brooklin Models in 1990. This video certainly brings back some memories. I look forward to more.
