Absolutely these oldies are an amazing and awesome never compares to the new ones nowadays

I don't have many Dinky Toys but recently found a nice Pullmore transporter. Great to see it in this early catalogue - Thanks!

2nd liked good job

Makes me appreciate how hard my mother worked to buy these for my brothers and me, SPV, FAB 1, Prisoner Mini Mike etc 🥰

How did you do the underside?

I've only got 360p video quality on this end -- it's a shame your work is not HD. 😢

Instead of mechanical paint removal (and the risk of damaging the cast zinc), try using a chemical stripper. It has to be safe for zinc of course

First comment! Have you or anyone done an improvement to these Hubley cars in regards to using machine screws instead of the coarse self-tapping screws? I'm not crazy about the self-tapping screws and was wondering if it was feasible to tap the axles for metric or imperial threads and maybe even add hex head button screws on the wheels. Hex head screws would give a marginal improvement to the appearance of the "hub caps" over the obviously non-scale slotted screws.

Great to see. I had this catalogue myself, though only had a couple of the models. Living on a housing estate and money hard to come by. Great to see, though.

Superbe ! Mais changement d’image trop rapide, un tel catalogue demanderait à être feuilleté plus lentement, pour pouvoir en apprécier toute la richesse.

This catalogue is not the 1947/48 catalogue (the USA catalogue 1947/48 does have the same cover page, but has other content). This is the first prewar stapled Dinky Toys catalogue UK of November 1939, 3rd Printing. You can see this from the print code on the last page 2/1139/20 (3P). Three printings of this catalogue have been published, also printcode 2/739/10 (1P) July 1939 and printcode 2/939/20 (2P) September 1939. The first 2 Printings with 14 pages and the last with 10 pages. I own all three. Beautiful catalogues of these nostalgic Dinky Toys period. I am a collector of Dinky Toys and Dinky Toys catalogues and gives me a lot of pleasure.

Yours faithfully 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

thanks you

Hello, Could you please make a video on how to disassemble a Schuco radiant? Is there a way to take apart the wheels of the landing gear? Thank you.

Absolutely stunning models in such fantastic condition especially the Mercedes, the aircraft is anice piece

Those were nice examples , will you be showing some more of what Peter brought .

Nice and simple ,another handy tool.

Good handy idea

Amazing thanks.✨️✨️

This is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos willy, watching how you overcome problems and how you fix them excellent work

Hi, how did you repair the tip that snapped off? Ours snapped off as well and it seems the rod end screws into the tip which means the screw will need to be drilled out and new screw welded to the rod end?

This was definitely a fiddly one but you did a great job of sorting it out and works well ,hopefully you'll get the steering box

Nice work around with the lights and head light lens ,good pile of cogs to sort through, and you have made great progress willy 👍

23 Canadian dollar ia how much ZAR rand?

Very nice peice willy,that's a lot of stuff in there but you got it working who manufactured that toy

I had a few of the models shown here. Wish I can have them back again. I never knew that there was a catalogue avaliable in 1968. May be not in RSA. Bring them back again please!

A BIG thank you for posting this. So many memories and I didn't know how lucky I was to have owned quite a few of the models. 👍👍👍

Vintage catalogs are neat. Thanks for posting.

Very nice

New avengers cars look awesome

Interesting career willy ,I remember some of your collection when you lived in France, brilliant video thanks for sharing 👍

The Model T Santa Special. I had that model until a rather unpleasant boy at school took it and threw it against the wall in the playground.What was his problem? Some good memories too,the Southdown Gliding Club Triumph was a favourite. Our local hardware shop had a full length display unit built into their counter,stocked with Dinky cars,small boy height. Very clever.

I've still got my catalouge somewhere of this one

I love this large frame. ❤

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe . . .

Thanks willy

why no commentary? otherwise great video,remember these.

I just subbed to your channel.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good video and a great book

Looks like we're traveling even further back to the happy days. That's the Carefree 50s movement. Especially if it's 1959.

I still miss the classic past. Such as the radical 60s movement. Go back to the time when the Monkees were young and alive. This has a strong reference to when Bill Keane never allowed any of his Family Circus child characters age even one year. Was I a bad seed to the Monkees back then, oh yeah? The positive side I like about this educational video is that this presents what all of Paul Restorer's finished work looks like. I'd like to see all of Paul Restorer's finished work again.

Very nostalgic!

Maravillosa colección!!!
