In the recent past I have had the opportunity to purchase, in usually groups of around 100 models at a time, a selection of Dinky, French Dinky and Corgi toys from the estate of an enthusiastic collector who only wanted the best models.
The collection of the highest quality has been kept away from sunlight and any forms of damage and I have never come across any form of enhancements or touch-ups.
It has been such a privilege to be offered the opportunity to purchase such a collection and I have now benefited by several batches. This is an excellent chance to either upgrade or obtain that missing model.
Ultra Violet Lamp
Every model I obtain is checked to the best of my ability for touch-ups or enhancements and will always be declared if I mistakenly purchase such a model.
‘M’ Tyres
You will note on many Dinky models I may refer to ‘M’ tyres. After the smooth tyres a grip tyre was introduced and these usually have a little ‘M’ on the sidewall.
