Popular Post vision386 Posted September 4, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2013 The artist's name was Dan Jones. He had t shirts also made up. I should of bought the other prints he had. Must of been at least six more designs. Mark the DM is the only Dehanes I have. I never really got into Winross. You have quite a collection. I will post more pics. I have a very mixed bag of models. I'm trying to save them for my seven year old. We buy stuff together but it is tempting for him. I usually buy something for him to play with to keep him happy. Rob Me too! (mixed bag that is) I really don't "specialize" in any particular model or maker,just get the ones I like,i have Tonkas,First Gear,Winross,Corgi's,and many others as well. I think I like the "nostalgia" factor the most with my Winross trucks,one of the first I ever got was a 9000 White from the Howard Johnsons restaurant at the south end of the Turnpike when I was a kid,still have it now,and its one of my favorites! a lot of my trucks didn't survive childhood either! but I have been trying to replace some of the ones I had (along with some I wanted)pretty much all my life!i guess its a sickness like anything else LOL! but like Mrs.Vision says "theres gonna be one HELL of a sale when I kick the bucket!!"....................Mark 4 Quote Mack Truck literate.

RFCDrum Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Mark that's cool. All the models in our cases our my seven year old's for when he gets older. I too had all the Corgis and Super Kings and played and mutilated everything. Been trying to replace some of the stuff too I had. I need more room and cases.

Rob I forgot about the Dodge dump trailer from Matchbox . Wasn't there a bottom dump trailer like a maroon color they made also? The Corgis were nice also they made an R model crane and Esso tanker trailer . Love that Superliner artwork Quote Local 282 Union Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one. I also remember Matchbox made a Ford dump trailer in the late 70s like the newer style Matchbox that I had that was pretty nice . That's when toys were toys . Tonkas were made out of metal not like today where most are plastic 2 Quote Local 282 Union Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hook the Ford up to the lowboy because when I was a kid I never saw a cab over pulling a lowboy .

Green Dash Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Very nice collections and a great variety of stuff, too. Excellent work on the H model, Mark! 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yep that was the Scammel Crusader. It was blue with a gold King lowboy. I probably did the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Next up a Matchbox Scammel Constructor. Then a Majorette GMC Brigadier mixer I bought in Canada a long time ago. I don't think Majorette even had the rights to make this. It even says GMC on the front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Here is the Corgi R model for Mackman. Next is a piece I bought in Buffalo at the ATHS convention years ago. It's a Pemjoy CH slightly modified with extra axles added to the dump trailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Some nice ones Rob! I have the later Scammel gold wrecker with superfast wheels and the yellow pipe carrying tractor trailer. I'll have to take some pictures when I get home,my "pride of the fleet" Corgi would have to be my A-N-D Service B-Model wrecker,i have the Starbuck LJ Christmas truck too (don't like starbucks coffee,but I like the truck!)...............Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

rsb502 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 You guys are gonna make me empty some boxes and take some pics. I've sold or traded probably 30-40 die cast trucks over the last few years, most went right before I went overseas so I didn't have to pack em up.
