Although it is fun to look at old toys not many where actually 1:64th scale and those that were it was just a coincidence to fit a standard selection of boxes available or a blister.
Sure we do now have collector ranges that are 1:64th scale and these can be included. The prices some of these are for sale for will surprise even harden collectors.

I tend to agree Chris. I've actually posted here in 1:64 Forum, models ranging from 1/87 up to about 1/56 scale.
Especially historically, there was a significant range. HO train scale is 1/87. OO for trains from the UK is 1/76. It is only fairly recently that an attempt to standardize 1/64 scale has occurred.

Good suggestion Chris as it would more accurately define this forum.

These oldies are really small, but maybe not really to scale. (But I like 'em anyway.)
Or am I pushing the limits too far? David H

The name change certainly reflects this section far better. Many thanks Kevin and you to John. Plus all the Forum members that supported this.
This old hard worked Matchbox 1:85th scale Grit Spreader built in the mid-1960's says thanks too.
